Tbe opportunity was also seized to erect bath-room accommodation
and apparatus, in accordance with the Cleansing of Persons Act,
1897, for the cleansing of persons and their clothes infested with
vermin. This accommodation consists of a bathroom for males and
one for females, properly furnished with apparatus for the disinfection
of the infected clothing.
With this station and shelter, I have no hesitation in stating that
Hackney will be the most completely equipped district in London for
dealing with infectious and contagious disease. Annexed are the
plans and a perspective view of the building and site, which have
been prepared by the Architects, Gordon & Gunton, Fiusbury House,

FACTORY AND WORKSHOPS ACTS 1878—1895.
The following is a list of the additional workshops registered
during the year. The total number was 52 ; of these 15 were
workshops in which males were employed, and 37 where females
were employed. The former were inspected by the male Sanitary
Inspectors, the latter by Miss Teebay. Any nuisances found were all
satisfactorily abated. The total number of workshops now on the
register is 1626, all of which have been inspected at intervals; but it
is obvious that these cannot be periodically inspected with the
staff at my disposal without the neglect of other important work
