These shops were also visited periodically by
the Sanitary Inspectors, with a view of discovering
and remedying any defects found in the
general arrangements of the premises.
The Milk sold at these places is under the
constant supervision of the Inspectors appointed
under the Sale of Food and Drugs Act, details
of which will be found in my Report as Public
Analyst (vide page 163).
BAKEHOUSES,
Bakehouses are workshops under Sections 34,
35 and 81 of the Factory and Workshop Act of
1878, and, as such, subject to the authority of
the Public Health Department.
The proposed amendment in the law relating
to these places, now under the consideration of
Parliament, is referred to in page 100 of this
Report, under the heading of Factories and
Workshops.
