underground premises for cook-shop purposes.
In one instance the certificate has been definitely refused after
reconstruction of the bakehouse on the grounds:—
(a) That the surroundings of the bakehouse were unsatisfactory.
(b) That the owner had not carried out his undertaking to
devote the shop above the bakehouse to the sale of bread.
In two instances the work is still proceeding, and the certificate

Public Health Committee, in some instances on more than one
occasion, prior to the issue of the certificate.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
Your very obedient Servant,
GEORGE P. BATE. M.D.,
Medical Officer of Health for Bethnal Green.
