Verminous Rooms.
19 verminous rooms have been cleansed under the provisions of the
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1914.
Bakehouses.
I have, as instructed, made periodical inspections of the bakehouses,
sixteen in number. Three of the bakehouses are underground, and,
where required, served extracts of the Factory and Workshops Act, 1901,
for the necessary work of cleansing, etc., and “intimations,” “notices,”
etc., for the remedying of sanitary defects and nuisances of such premises
in general.
Cowsheds and Slaughterhouses.
Four notices were received for renewal of licences. The premises
were duly inspected regarding the cleansing, limewashing and general
sanitary conditions in accordance with the provisions of the Dairy and
Cowsheds Order. Any defects found to exist were remedied, and limewashing
done before renewals of the licences were granted.
The slaughterhouses have been frequently visited, often when
killing was in progress, and everything found satisfactory. Limewashing
in each case has been done in compliance with the London County Council
Bye-laws.
The number of these premises now on the register is—cowsheds, 1;
slaughterhouses, 3.
Legal Proceedings under the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, Metropolis

Public Health and Housing Committee, it has not in any case been
necessary to institute legal proceedings, the “written intimations,”
notices, “final notices,” served for the abatement of nuisances, remedying
of defects and infringements of bye-laws respectively, being complied with.
Factory and Workshops Acts.
The workshops, domestic workshops, workplaces and domestic workplaces
in the district where male labour is employed have been inspected,
the number engaged in each case being checked, particularly in respect
