in conformity with the Act, a Court of Summary Jurisdiction may, on
complaint by the occupier, make an order relating to an apportionment of the

occupier, determine the lease.
In order to comply with the provisions of the Factory and Workshop Act relating
to underground bakehouses the following requirements will be necessary:—
The bakehouse shall be of a sufficient cubic capacity, and shall be in
every part thereof at least 7 feet 6 inches in height, measured from
the floor to the ceiling.
The floor shall be constructed of hard, smooth, durable, and impervious
material.
Special precautions to be taken where adjacent ground abuts on a wall
or walls for the exclusion of damp.
The surface of the walls shall be faced with a hard, smooth and durable
material.
Every underground bakehouse shall be approached by a suitable staircase,
adequately lighted and ventilated. Any opening into the
shop above must be 60 covered as to prevent the entrance of dust.
Light.—The underground bakehouse shall be adequately lighted with daylight
throughout to the satisfaction of the Sanitary Authority, and the lighting
obtained shall be such that an official copy of the Abstract of the Factory Act
may be read in all parts of such bakehouse, between the hours of 11 a.m.
and 3 p.m.
Ventilation.—The bakehouse shall be properly and efficiently ventilated by
permanent inlets and outlets, communicating directly with the open air in such
a way, and at such a height above the street level, as to prevent the entrance of
street dust and dirt. At least one of such outlets shall be over an oven door. If
required by the Sanitary Authority, artificial means of ventilation shall be
provided.
All other Respects.—Dough-troughs, and all similar furniture and fittings
(if any) shall be mounted on strong castors or wheels, so as to be readily moveable
for cleaning purposes.
Provision for the proper storage of flour shall be made elsewhere than in the
underground bakehouse itself, but storage sufficient for two days' consumption
of flour may be permitted in the bakehouse, provided that the required cubic
capacity is not thereby reduced.
Properly covered receptacles shall be provided for the storage of all refuse
matters, aud such receptacles shall be emptied and cleansed at least once in
every 24 hours.
