837 inspections were made and 39 written notices were served.
The number of sanitary defects discovered and remedied was 92.
As in previous years, want of cleanliness is the most frequent
defect to be dealt with.
In 44 cases, comparing with 46 for the previous year, the
occupier was requested to cleanse, and this was immediately done.
In 27 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.— The number of homeworkers on the register
is 44, and 177 inspections of these premises were made during
the year. Lists are sent in twice yearly by employers and the
Sanitary Authorities of other Districts. 238 names were entered
upon these lists, 67 of which were found to refer to other districts,
and which were duly forwarded.
Bakehouses.— There are 34 bakehouses in the Borough,
5 being underground bakehouses.
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.
