FACTORY AND WORKSHOPS.
By the Factory and Workshops Act, 1901, I am required
to ''report specifically on the administration of this Act in
workshops and workplaces," and to send a copy to the Home
Secretary. The details will be found appended, and it will be
seen that four 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.
