Corner, owing to non-compliance with the requirements of the
Hertfordshire County Council Act, 1935, the Company submitted a
comprehensive plan providing for 18 concrete bases for caravans
to stand on with proper drai nage therefrom, connected to a main
drain. Carriage-ways leading to these stands were also provided
for. The plan and proposals were approved by the Council and a
first class camping site has now been provided, and licence
issued accordingly.
Employment Agencies.
Section 74 of the Hertfordshire County Council Act 1935
requires a Local Authority to furnish the County Council during
the first week in October in each year, with a report on the conduct
and management of employment agencies within their district,
with recommendations for the renewal of the Licences or otherwise.
During the year the County Council asked for reports in
respect of the following premises previously licenced;-
(1) Constance Evelyn Briers, lla, High Street, Barnet.
(2) Rosa Figes Coward, 22, High Street, Barnet.
(3) Winifred Doris Larkins, 203, High Street, Barnet.
(4) Miss D. Lees, 6, Lawn Mansions, High Street, Barnet.
I found these premises to be suitable for the purpose, and
inspected the books which were kept in a satisfactory manner.
Consequently no objection was raised to the renewal of the
Licences.
Public Swimming Baths and Bathing Pools.
Byelaws are now in force in the District for securing the
purity of the water in Swimming Baths and Pools, also for ensuring
cleanliness and adequacy of accommodation, prevention of accidents
and regulating conduct of persons using the Baths or Pools.
There is only one Public swimming pool in the district which
is attached to a road-house.
This has been inspected from time to time and was always
found to be conducted in conformity with the Byelaws.
