Sanitary improvements.—I have served 298 notices for the abatement of various nuisances.
297 workshops have been cleansed and limewhited. Thirty w.c.'s have been provided
(24 for males and 6 for females) at various factories and workshops, whilst 375 other improvements
were carried out under my supervision.
I have also reported through you to H.M. Inspector of Factories, as required by Section

young people under the age of 18 years were employed.

Boroughs, the names and addresses of 523 outworkers who reside in the various
Boroughs of London and suburbs, and who work for tradespeople in Islington. I have also
forwarded the names and addresses of several outworkers to their respective districts which
have been sent to this borough in error.

Your obedient Servant,
GEORGE WEST,
