Bakehouses.
There are 73 bakehouses now in use in Fulham, of which
53 are underground.
The attention of the occupiers of the underground bakehouses
has been drawn to the provisions of the Factory and
Workshop Act, 1901, that an underground bakehouse shall not
be used after January 1st, 1904, unless certified by the Borough
Council to be suitable for that purpose, and they have been
requested to submit plans and particulars of their bakehouses.
The Public Health Committee have laid down certain requirements
with which underground bakehouses must comply before
the Council will be recommended to grant a certificate, and
all the bakehouses, of which the occupiers have applied for
certificates and furnished the necessary plans and particulars,
are being visited by the Medical Officer of Health, and the
applicants then furnished with the details of the necessary
alterations.
