bakehouses have been dealt with and the necessary works were executed to put them
in a satisfactory sanitary condition.

FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS.
A large number of workshops and workplaces have received the attention of the
Vestry's sanitary staff, and a large amount of sanitary work in connection with them

During the year, written notices were received from the factory inspectors
referring to insanitary conditions in forty-three workshops and factories. These
were all attended to and the factory inspectors were informed of the steps taken in
accordance with the requirements of the Factory and Workshops Act, 1895.
