Urban District Council.
SANITARY INSPECTOR'S REPORT.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
40, High Street,
Barnet.
January, 1912.
To the Chairman and Members of the
Barnet Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour of presenting to you my Third
Annual Report, giving particulars of the works carried
out in my Department during the year 1911, in administering
the numerous Health Acts and Bye-laws in force within the
district.
The innumerable extra duties continually devolving
upon the Health Department of the Local Authority,
more especially during the past two years, both in
regard to the Medical and Sanitary work, including as they
do the carrying out of the provisions of a number of Acts of
Parliament and Orders of the Local Government Board
dealing with fresh branches of sanitary science, which it
is incumbent upon the Local Authority to administer compulsorily,
combined with progressive changes embracing more
extensive and rigid general health conditions than in the past,
have rendered it imperative that if the benefits to be derived
from these measures are to be substantial, a proper system
must be evolved whereby each branch of the work can be
dealt with at more regular intervals.
The increased Inspectorial work must of necessity carry
with it increased clerical work, which, together with the ever
increasing statistical requirements of the Local Government
Board, takes up a considerable amount of time.
