COMMON LODGING-HOUSES AND HOUSES LET
IN LODGINGS.
We have kept a constant watch on the Common
Lodging Houses and the Houses Let in Lodgings, and I
have personally inspected every room. The Common
Lodging Houses are kept in as good a condition as such
houses usually are, but it is next to impossible to keep the
houses let in lodgings up to the standard one would
desire.
FACTORY AND WORKSHOP ACT, 1901.
There are now 94 workshops on the register kept
under this Act, and we still are coming across new premises
that have to be registered. I have personally
inspected all the underground bakehouses, and find that
the requirements are kept up to the original demands. I
can also personally testify to the condition of the other
bakehouses. There seems to be a desire on the part of the
occupiers to keep them in a cleanly and wholesome condition,
and we have experienced no difficulty in getting the
half-yearly cleansing properly carried out.
DAIRIES, COWSHEDS AND SLAUGHTERHOUSES.
I have gone through all the dairies, cowsheds and
slaughterhouses frequently during the year, and though
there are still points to be improved, yet I can report
progress during the year.
HOUSING OF THE WORKING CLASSES ACT.
No action has been taken under this Act during
the past year.
