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

promises previously licenced:-

(2) Winifred Doric Larkins, 203 High Street, Barnet.

books which were kept in a satisfactory manner.
