As the resu't of the inspection of the workrooms and work-places
in the Borough, it was found that for the most part they were in a
satisfactory condition, and that the requirements of the Factor)- and
Workshops Act of 1901 were duly observed. There was no case
of overcrowding to be dealt with, but there were 36 instances
in which it was necessary to require cleansing. There were two
occasions to require an increase in the water-closet accommodation,
and 25 in which the accommodation was unsuitable or defective. In
four cases the Abstract of the Factory Act was not affixed in the
workrooms, and the Home Office was notified accordingly. There
are altogether 204 domestic workrooms in the borough in which wearing
material of various kinds are being dealt with.
