Bakehouses.
There were 72 bakehouses on the register at the end of 1928.
Of these 50 use power, and are therefore factories. Forty-six of
the bakehouses are above ground, and 26 are under ground. Two
bakehouses were removed from the register, the premises being
in one case disused and in the second case used for other purposes.
Inspections made during the year were 191, and 31 intimation
and 5 statutory notices were served, mainly for failure to carry
out the half-yearly lime-whiting of the bakehouses within the
statutory period.
In the early part of 1928, as a result of complaint received,
inspection was made of certain bakehouse premises, which were
found to be in seriously insanitary condition. The Health Committee
directed that legal proceedings should be taken in regard
to the matter, but the requirements of the Act of Parliament
having been complied with and the premises rendered in all respects
fit for the purpose, the summons, by the order of the Committee,
was not proceeded with.
Warehouses and Wharves.
At the end of 1928, there were 40 premises on the register,
including railway yards. These premises were systematically
inspected during the year, and 38 inspections were made. Six
intimation notices were served to remedy nuisances found on
inspection.
