Periodical lime-washing, water supply, water-closet accommodation,
drainage, and cleanliness, are the main points over which
we have maintained as strict a supervision as possible. A number
of notices have been issued and legal proceedings taken where
necessary. Inspections have also been made of sweet factories in
the district, and it is intended that in future all places where
food is manufactured or prepared shall be regularly inspected.
WORKSHOPS.
In 1897,after the London County Council inspection, carried out
by Dr. Young, a register was established containing a complete
list of the workshops in the district. The facts which this register
contains refer to the address, name of occupier, trade or business,
position, cubic space, number of gas burners, number of occupants
allowed in each workshop, and the details of ventilation and
sanitary convenience. During the year 37 workshops were placed
upon this register. The total number on the register at the end of
1900 was 256. Many of these workshops have been visited at
various times during the year in the ordinary course of the
inspectors' work. But it has been found impossible to set apart a
special Inspector for workshops, though undoubtedly this is the
only way to insure efficient inspection.
