ance with Section 65 of the principal Act, and also to the fact that
every such list shall be open to inspection by any Inspector under the
principal Act, or by any officer of a Sanitary Authority. A larger
number of names of outworkers living in this district, but working for
employers in other parts have been forwarded to us by various Local
Authorities this year. Of any work being now done in the inspection
of outworkers premises we may, I think, justJy consider ourselves the
pioneers, for until Hackney led the way, I cannot learn that any
initiative was taken in the matter.
By desire of the Medical Officer I drew up a Special Report re
Outworkers in July last.
Including inspections of 12 W.C.'s connected with the Ladies'
Waiting Rooms at various railway stations in the district, the total
number of visits paid by me in the discharge of my duties during
1900 was 2,402.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
ALICE TEEBAY.
