FACTORY AND WORKSHOPS.
By the Factory and Workshops Act, 1901, I am required
to "report specifically on the administration of this Act n
workshops and workplaces," and to send a copy to the Home
Secretary. The details will be found appended, and it will be
seen that three defects were found and remedied. In my
personal visits, I saw that there was sufficient airspace, ventilation,
and proper sanitary conveniences separated for the
sexes. Mr. Pointon visits the places regularly, so that no
conditions inimical to health may arise.
