In concluding this Report I have only to add that due
inspection was made of all factories and workshops in the
Sub-district in which labour has to be legally regulated,
and it was found that none of the proprietors of these
places had committed any offence against the law by exceeding
the prescribed hours of employment of young
persons and children.
The cow-houses in the Parish, as well as all premises
used for the slaughtering of animals, received the usual
supervision, and I am pleased to report that all licences
were renewed at the proper period without any opposition
being offered on the grounds of a non-compliance with the
requirements of the Act regulating such places.
R. HARLAND-WHITEMAN,
Medical Officer of Health
for Putney and Roehampton.
Chairman of the Associated Health
Officers of the Wandsworth District.
