Picture Frame makers 2

849 inspections were made and 76 written notices were served.
The number of sanitary defects discovered and remedied was 106.
As in previous years, want of cleanliness is the most frequent
defect to be dealt with.
In 30 cases, comparing with 52 for the previous year, the
occupier was requested to cleanse, and this was immediately done.
During the year 7 cases of overcrowding were found, and in
each case the nuisance was at once abated.
In 40 cases the sanitary accommodation was found to be unsuitable,
insufficient or defective. At one workshop separate
accommodation was not provided for each sex. These nuisances
were, however, remedied on the occupier's attention being called
to the matter.
Home Work.—There are 63 persons on the list of homeworkers,
a decrease of 2 during the year. In every case the premises
occupied have been inspected, but no insanitary condition
existed. No case of infectious disease has occurred in a house
occupied by a home-worker.
Bakehouses.—There are 41 bakehouses in the Borough
being one less than in 1907.
