METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF POPLAR.
Public Health Department,
December 31 st, 1901.
To the Medical Officer of Health,
Sir,—
I beg to present to you my second annual report of the work
done in factories and workshops and among outworkers during the
year 1901.
??? workrooms have been overcrowded, 6 in Bromley, and 5 in
Bow, but in each case the nuisance has been abated on serving an
intimation, the employers in several cases arranging to use a larger or
an additional room.
17 intimations have been served requiring owners or occupiers to
provide suitable and separate closet accommodation. In 8 cases
additional conveniences were constructed, 3 are not yet completed,
1 has been altered and improved, in 4 cases the employers discharged
the females in preference to making the necessary alterations, and in
1 case satisfactory arrangements have been made.
The following is a tabulated statement of further details.:—
