were 6 empty, and that of the 226 which were being used, 133

In one instance only was any accumulation of refuse found

at that time.
Of the 232 bakehouses, 129 were underground, there being

of underground premises for such a purpose.
The following abstract will show the result of the inspection
just made.
Since the inspection of March, 1879, twelve of the old bakehouses
have been abolished, and 23 new ones have been added to
the number, the nett increase being 11.
The total number at the present time is therefore 243, of which
144 are underground
Of the 23 new bakehouses, 14 are underground, and 9 are not.
Of the 213 bakehouses six are empty, and of the 237 being
used, 101 require to be limewhited.
In 45 instances accumulations of refuse were found under the
troughs, and 25 inlets to drains were untrapped. In eight bakehouses
the paving was defective. In two there were stack pipes
open at the top and connected with the drains at the bottom. One
of these is new, and in the other case the stack pipe had been
altered. In a single instance a drain pipe was found open for the
reception of the water overflowing from the water receptacle.
Three of the more recently constructed bakehouses have waterclosets
in them, while five old ones are similarly circumstanced.
I must say that from this abstract it would seem that my
