Mr. Evans died in January, and Mr. Kershaw was appointed in his place.
Mr. Shill has, since the close of the year, resigned.
The two Sanitary Inspectors of Workshops, appointed at the end of 1895,
did satisfactory work during the past year.
Mr. Barth has been engaged in inspecting workshops, bakehouses, factories,
in attending to stnoke nuisances, and in temporary additional duties. The
books kept have been a Diary, a Register of Workshops, and a Register of
Bakehouses, and certain forms and notices. During the past year the Inspector
made 3022 inspections and 1677 re-inspections.
In the Workshops Register a large number of workshops employing male
labour were entered, but they represent only a small portion of the number in
the whole parish, and include only the area south of Euston Road, excluding
Euston Road itself, aud Tottenham Court Road. Except for the abatement of
nuisances under notice, no re-inspections of the workshops entered in the
Register have yet been made.
The Bakehouse Register contains 200 bakehouses entered, being the total in
the whole parish, and these were periodically visited each half-year.
