Factory and Workshop Act, 1901.—Register of Workshops.—The
number of Workshops on the Register at the end of
1912 was 375. During the year 1913 30 workshops have been

799 inspections were made and 60 written notices were served.
The number of sanitary defects discovered and remedied was 104.
As in previous years, want of cleanliness is the most frequent
defect to be dealt with.
In 46 cases, comparing with 35 for the previous year, the
occupier was requested to cleanse, and this was immediately done.
In 41 cases the sanitary accommodation was found to be unsuitable,
insufficient, or defective. These nuisances were, however,
remedied on the owner's or occupier's attention being called to the
matter.
Home Work.—There are 140 persons on the list of homeworkers.
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 33 bakehouses in the Borough,
being two less than in 1912.
There are 5 underground bakehouses in the Borough.
Frequent inspections have been made of bakehouses, restaurant
kitchens, and other business premises concerned in the preparation
of food, and, speaking generally, the conditions found were satisfactory.
Dairies and Milkshops, numbering 78, and 4 Cowsheds in
the Borough, have been frequently inspected.
