FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS.
The number of workshops and workplaces on the Register at the
end of 1912 was 1,950, compared with 1,960 at the end of 1911.
During the year 383 entries were removed from the register owing
to the closing or removal of the workshops and workplaces or their
conversion into factories, and 323 re-opened or newly-established
workshops and workplaces were placed on the register.
The factories on the register at the end of 1912 numbered 1,016,
compared with 936 at the end of 1911. During the year 95
factories were removed from the register, and 175 were added.
The factories on the register include 7 tenement factories, in
which there are 36 occupiers, carrying on different trades or processes,
and supplied with mechanical power by the owners of such
factories. Each of these occupiers and his tenement is individually
and separately subject to the provisions of the Factory Acts for
certain purposes, but the whole premises are treated as one building.
