Certificates specifying in detail the means of escape provided, together with
particulars of fire fighting appliances, were issued to the occupiers after completion,
where necessary, of the alterations.
VANS USED AS DWELLINGS.
The vans which entered the district for the purpose of attending Barnet Fair
were in many instances visited in order to ascertain their sanitary condition, and
to enquire as to any illness which might be of an infectious character.
One case of typhoid fever was removed to hospital, shortly after arrival within
the district. Disinfection was carried out and contacts kept under observation.
Temporary sanitary accommodation was provided in different sections of the
Fair for the use of the caravanners and public, and regular removal of refuse was
arranged.
HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL ACT. 1935.
Provision is made in this Act for the conduct and regulation of:
(1) Hairdressers' and Barbers' Premises;
(2) Swimming Baths and Pools, and
(3) Employment Agencies.
Hairdressers' and Barbers' Premises.
The Council made Bye-laws for securing the cleanliness of these premises in
1937. There are seventeen such establishments in the district. No complaints
were received concerning their cleanliness or conduct nor were any serious breaches
of the Bye-laws noted during inspections of such premises.
Swimming Baths and Bathing Pools.
The only swimming pool in the district, viz, at "The Barn", Barnet By-Pass, is
not now in use.
Employment Agencies.
Prior to the war there were four employment agencies in the district. These,
however, are no longer in existence owing to the control of labour and it seems unlikely
they will be started up again.
