Bakehouses.
A considerable amount of extra inspection was made during
the year of underground bakehouses, in order to prepare for the
granting of certificates to these before the 1st January, 1904, and
plans was made of all underground bakehouses by the Sanitary
Inspectors.
These inspections were purposely made during 1902 in order
to give the occupiers and owners of bakehouses plenty of time to
make all the necessary alterations.
More detailed particulars of all underground bakehouses and
the action taken by the Council will be given in the report for
1903, as all the details were not definitely settled during the year
1902.
All the bakehouses were frequently inspected during the year,
and the necessary cleansing and lime-washing carried out.
