In addition to the above, seven outworkers' premises were visited.
Three certificates as to means of escape in case of fire were issued,
under Section 34 of the Act luring the year, after execution of works. A
further factory has been inspected with a view to revising the existing
certificate, but owing to extensive alterations, structural and otherwise,
it is not expedient to issue new certificates until these have been
completed.
HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL ACT. 1935.
Provision is made in this Act for the conduct and regulation of:-
(1) Tents, Caravans and Sheds;
(2) Hairdressers' and Barbers' Premises;
(3) Swimming Baths and Pools, and
(4) Employment Agencies.
Tents. Caravans and Shads.
The increasing use of caravans as a means of "solving" the housing
problem has led to nine applications being made for the siting of some
fifteen caravans in the district. All applications were approved subject
to conditions and compliance with requirements of the Act. Three
approvals, covering nine caravans, were not taken up for various reasons,
for example, refusal of permission under the Town Planning Acts.
These individual sitings are in addition to the multiple site in
private ownership on the Barnet Bye-Pass, an extension of which was the
subject of negotiations during the year.
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.
