able amount of consideration to this subject and their recommendations
as approved by the Council in February of the present year
(1903) are as follows :—
THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF STOKE
NEWINGTON.
As to the conditions under which a Sanitary Authority may
properly grant a certificate that an underground bakehouse is suitable,
it is not unreasonable to demand that in all essential requisites such
a bakehouse shall be rendered equally healthy with a bakehouse of
moderately good type, which is entirely above ground.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGROUND
BAKEHOUSES.
An underground bakehouse shall not be used as such after
January 1st, 1904, unless such underground bakehouse be, in the
opinion of the Sanitary Authority, suitable and fit on sanitary grounds
for use or occupation as a bakehouse, as shown by possessing the
following minimum sanitary requirements :—
A.—Construction.
(1) The bakehouse shall be of a minimum capacity of 1,500
cubic feet, and shall have a mean height of at least 7
feet 6 inches, and in no part a height of less than
7 feet when measured from the floor to the ceiling.
(2) The interior face of walls shall be smooth and impervious
to damp and dirt throughout.
