Tuberculosis
The Middlesex County Council have a scheme for dealing with this
disease throughout the County. The local dispensary is situated at
"Chester Villa", High Road, N. 12. Dr. Dobson, the Tuberculosis Officer
for this area has been good enough to send me the following information
respecting his work on Friern Barnet residents for the year under review.-
New Tubercular cases in 1933 12
fransfeis in, not inciuded in above. 1
New non-Tubercular oases including contacts 23
36
Cases supervised at or from Dispensary during 1933 (all T.B.) 62
Tubercular oases still on Register 31. 12. 33 46
SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE AREA.
Sewage Disposal Works.
The three 118 ft. diameter Rotary Percolating Filters constructed
to replace the old contact beds were completed during the year, and put
in operation.
The Consulting Engineers have reported on the further extensions,
suggested by your Engineer and Surveyor, and instructions have been given
for this Scheme to be prepared.
Negotiations were entered into with the East Barnet Valley
Urban District Council with a view to that Authority taking the sewage
from the low lying portion of this area draining to fly Place, and treating
at their Works, but as this sewage would have to be lifted from their deep
sump, the idea has had to be abandoned, and the Consulting Engineers have
now advised that the Ely Place ejector station be modernised, enlarged, and
electrically driven pumps installed replacing the ejectors and long air-
main from the Sewage Works.
Scavenging and disposal of refuse.
The method of controlled tipping has been continued throughout
the year without nuisance, I reported fully on this method of disposal
in my report of 1928, and can add little to such report.
Water, Rivers and Streams, Closet accommodation, Smoke Abatement, Schools,
and Rag Flock Acts. 1911 and 1628.
These matters were fully dealt with in the Report of 1925, and
no change of note has taken place therein.
