HOME WORKERS.
Of the 3,927 workmen and contractors whose
names appeared on the lists received, 2,740 resided
within the Borough. In 1922 the number was larger,
being 2,870. This figure, 2,740, is approximately
double the number of individual workers, as in the
majority of cases the same people are notified in
February and in August.
The number of visits paid to Home Workers'
dwellings was 2,593. The number of premises found
to be in an insanitary condition was 448, or 26 per
cent. of the 1,715 premises inspected. Notices were
served in 392 cases, the other 56 premises being already
under notice arising from other visits.
