regard to making these places as sanitary as under the circumstances
can be expected has been done. Under the
systematic supervision exercised by Inspector Benjamin, both
the above ground and underground bakehouses have been
kept up to a fair standard as regards the requirements of the
Act. Only one serious contravention of the Act occurred
during the year. This had reference to the temporary use of
a disused underground bakehouse. The occupier of an aboveground
bakehouse in Northcote Road, owing to pressure of
work just before Christmas, had used an old underground
bakehouse in the same premises for the purpose of baking
cakes. On the matter being reported to me by Inspector
Benjamin, I visited the premises. The occupier, on his
attention being drawn to the breach of the law, expressed his
regret, and immediately discontinued the offence. He was
cautioned as to his future action.
