where there is infectious disease).
The making, cleaning, washing, altering, ornamenting, finishing,
and repairing of wearing apparel and any work incidental
thereto (as in the said section specified);
The making, ornamenting, mending, and finishing of lace and of
lace curtains and nets;
Upholstery work;

repairing of, umbrellas, sunshades, parasols, and articles of a
similar character, and any work incidental thereto;
*The making of paper bags and of paper boxes;
*Brushmaking; and
*The making of stuffed toys.
The object of this enactment is to ensure that the making of those
articles most likely to convey infection shall be carried on in wholesome
premises and under sanitary conditions, and that immediate information
of any outbreak of infectious disease may be given to the tradesmen
giving out work to be done at the home of the worker.
In addition to this, it has been found to be the means of discovering
a considerable number of small workshops and workplaces, which would
otherwise have escaped inspection.
* These are the additional trader included in the new Order.
