BARNET URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL.
SANITARY INSPECTOR'S REPORT.
Health Department,
Council Offices,
Barnet.
January, 1926.
To the Chairman and Members of the
Barnet Urban District Council.
Mrs Burton and Gentlemen,
I have the honour of presenting to you my Annual Report,
giving particulars of the measures carried out in my Department
during the year 1925, in administering the numerous Health Aots and
Bye-Laws in force within the District.
Eaoh suoceeding year sees an addition to the legislation
affecting Publio Health Departments, and the past year has been no
exception to this rule.
The Public Health Act 1925 which is partly adoptive and
partly of general application comes into force on January 1st, 1926.
Steps are being taken by the Council to include the Adoptive parts.
The Provisions of the Act consist chiefly of clauses
taken from Private Aots obtained from time to time by various Local
Authorities, many of the provisions of whioh will be of great
advantage to the District.
The Housing Act 1925 came into force on July 1st, 1925
and consolidates the various enactments relating to the Housing
of the Working Classes, and contains 137 sections with
6 schedules.
The Public Health (Meat) Regulations oame into force on
April 1st, 1925, and in my opinion is a great step forward towards
securing a uniform moat inspection. The chief clauses will be
dealt with later under the heading Meat Inspection.
