Outworkers and Homeworkers.—The provisions of the Act relating to "Outworkers"
were carried out as heretofore, and the lists of the names and addresses of workers receiving
work from the City firms were duly received without the necessity for legal proceedings.
In 55 cases employers neglected to keep lists at their premises and to send copies of the
same to the Corporation, as required by the Act. Notice in each case was served upon the
offender and in all cases complied with.
No cases of infectious disease were reported in connection with outworkers' premises
in the City.
