The Council are building a number of small houses which it is
hoped will be occupied by some of the persons in condemned houses.
A contract for 111 houses of different types is now in hand
on the Wellhouse Estate of 22½ acres which when fully developed
will contain about 220 houses.
DRAINAGE AND SANITARY CONVENIENCES.
The drains of 34 premises were inspected during the year. In
28 cases defects were found to exist which were remedied, 9
of the drains being entirely taken up and relaid.
DUSTBINS.
Sixty-nine notices were served under section 36 of the Public
Health Act 1875 requiring the provision of dustbins. Fifty-four
notices had been complied with at the end of the year and fifteen
were outstanding.
SANITARY CONDITIONS OF CINEMAS, DANCING HALLS,
AND OTHER PLACES OF ENTERTAINMENT.
The usual annual certificates required by the licencing
Authorities were issued in respect of the following premises
certifying that they were fit for the nature of entertainment
proposed to be given, in respect of fire escape, ventilation,
dressing and cloak rooms and lavatory accommodation:-
Barnet Cinema and Theatre.
Church House.
Ewen Hall.
The "Mitre" Dancing Hall.
Council Chamber.
The now fire resisting staircase provided at my request in the
Church House is a great improvement on the old wooden staircase.
