Periodical circular letters and reminders with regard to
cleansing of Cowsheds, Piggeries, Slaughter Houses, the
removal of manure and cleansing of Urinals attached to Public
Houses are all dealt with systematically but I have found the
clerical work of the department exceptionally heavy at times and
necessitating evening work to cope with the same.
In conclusion, I wish to express my indebtedness to the
Chairman and members of the Council for the support which has
been extended to me in carrying out the duties of my offices, and
for the valuable help rendered to me by my colleagues on taking
up my duties at East Barnet; especially at the time when the
Council were without their Surveyor (through ill health), and the
resignation of my predecessor.
I beg to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. LEWIS, M. In. M. & Cy. Engr.
Building Surveyor and Sanitary Inspector
