ADMINISTRATION OF THE FACTORY AND
WORKSHOP ACT.
The systematic inspection of factories and workshops has
been continued, and fairly satisfactory conditions have been
maintained in them. 35 notices relating to cleanliness and 17
in respect of other nuisances were served.
Bakehouses.
There are 69 bakehouses on the register, of which 50 are
underground. In eight cases cleansing was found necessary,
which was at once carried out on receipt of notice.
Outworkers.
The homes of the outworkers employed by firms both within
and without the borough have again received attention, but it was
only found necessary to serve three notices in respect of
nuisances found in them.
Workplaces, Restaurant Kitchens.
The 93 kitchens of restaurants and coffee-houses have been
kept under supervision by Mrs. Davies, who paid 250 visits and
served 54 notices, 45 on account of want of cleanliness and 11 in
respect of other defects.
The following tables, prepared at the request of the Secretary
of State for the Home Department, give a summary of
