LODGING HOUSES.
There are 5 Common Lodging Houses and 25 Houses
Let in Lodgings on the register, all situated in Arpley Road.
Some of these Houses Let in Lodgings are kept in a
very fair condition, but in others, owing to a great extent, to
the habits of the lodgers, the sanitary conveniences are found
in a bad state, and continual inspections are necessary to get
broken W.C. pans replaced, flushing apparatus repaired,
and recurring nuisances abated.
Midnight and day inspections were paid to these premises.
In several cases, overcrowding was discovered, but upon
calling the landlords' attention to this, it was speedily
abated.
FACTORIES & WORKSHOPS.
There are 145 factories, workshops and workplaces on
the register. These have been regularly inspected, 54
notices have been served, and cleansing, etc., has also in many
cases been carried out on calling the occupiers attention to the
matter, without the necessity of serving a notice : 238 visits
have been paid to these premises. In the tables relating
to the administration of the Factories and Workshops Act,
will be found particulars of the various trades, and the
nuisances abated.
