The two women inspectors each work in one-half of the Borough,
and are responsible for the inspection and supervision under the
Factory and Workshops Acts, of all places where female labour
is employed. They visit regularly the kitchens, etc., attached to
all restaurants and cates where food is prepared and cooked, but
in the case of public houses, however, it is found to be more
convenient to leave the inspection of kitchens to the district,
sanitary inspectors.
