which, in the opinion of the Sanitary Inspectors, might be suspected
of showing any overcrowding. If this course were adopted the
following houses would require inspection:—
No. 1 District 1,693
No. 2 District 2,054
No. 3 District 3,699
Total 7,446
"No arbitrary house value was decided upon in compiling this
list, which was rather arrived at through the personal knowledge
of the Sanitary Inspectors.
"From the experience of other Authorities which have already
commenced the work of completing Schedule A, it has been found
that one enumerator can deal with approximately 250 houses per
week, and that one clerk is required to deal with the information
obtained by six enumerators. Taking the number of houses to be
inspected in Southgate as 7,500, and allowing five weeks for the
completion of the work under Schedule A, it will be seen that
approximately eight enumerators would be required, together with
one clerk who could be assisted by the normal Public Health staff.
The work under Schedule B could probably be completed by the
Sanitary Inspectors with the assistance of one clerk, within a
period of four weeks.
"The expense ehtailed in this work, assuming that each temporary
assistant would receive 3 guineas per week (the sum paid
by the Rating and Valuation Officer for similar work), and also
allowing for the necessary office equipment and stationery, would
therefore be:—
£ s. d.
8 enumerators at 3 guineas per week for a period
of 5 weeks (Schedule A) 126 0 0
1 clerk at 3 guineas per week for a period of 5 weeks
(Schedule A) 15 15 0
1 clerk at 3 guineas per week for a period of 4 weeks
(Schedule B) 12 12 0
Cabinet, binders and necessary forms, etc.
(Schedules A and B) 21 0 0
