Factories.—Inspections and re-inspections of factory
premises numbered 2,701 and led to 458 notices
being served for sanitary defects.
Mortuary.—The Council's Mortuary is now occupied
and staffed by the Shoreditch Borough Council
and serves both boroughs. During the year 290 bodies
were received there and 263 post mortem examinations
were made.
Aged and Infirm Persons.—A number of enquiries
were made by the sanitary inspectors into the conditions
under which aged and infirm persons were
living, but in no case was it necessary to take legal
action to enforce removal to hospital. It was, however,
possible to arrange for removal voluntarily in several
cases.
