OUTWORKERS AND HOMEWORK.
Of the lists of Outworkers supplied half-yearly, 51 persons
were found to take work to their own premises (wearing
apparel, etc.), many living outside the district, of which the
various Sanitary Authorities were duly notified.
20 of such Outworkers were registered as homeworkers
residing within the district, and their home workrooms inspected
at various times, as to the different sanitary precautions
required by the Act to be observed, in respect of the
articles made or altered therein.
BAKEHOUSES.
One underground Bakehouse was granted a certificate
under the 101st Section in June, such having been previously
withheld in consequence of the alterations required by the
Council not hav.ing been completed to the satisfaction of
the Medical Officer of Health.
The four such Bakehouses in the district have been in
existence for many years, and are fortunately situated, so
that after the improvements obtained under the Section, in
the ligliting, ventilation, construction and sanitary matters,
they will rank by no means lowest among the 22 Bakehouses
in the Borough, as to their sanitation and good condition.
The limewashing and cleansing of all the Bakehouses
have been attended to at the required times, special halfyearly
and other casual inspections being made to see that
the requirements of the Act were being observed.
In conclusion, the report for the year 1905 is, on the whole,
not entirely satisfactory.
