These facts were laid before the Home Office, and Commander
Hamilton Smith, H.M. Superintending Inspector of Factories for
Dangerous Trades, visited the factory, and his proposals as well as
proposals from us, received the early attention of the occupiers of

laying the dust in the "dustroom" and preventing its escape into
the yard and the schoolrooms, and (b) improved ventilation. The
nuisance is now, I understand, abated.
