SMOKE ABATEMENT.
Numerous observations have been made of the factory and bakehouse
chimneys in the Borough during the year.
Special attention was given to several chimneys of which complaint
had been received.
Six intimation notices were served.
ICE CREAM MANUFACTURERS AND VENDORS.
A Register is kept of all premises where ice cream is manufactured,
and these are frequently inspected during the summer
months. The conditions under which the manufacture was carried
on were in every case found to be satisfactory. The barrows and
utensils of itinerant vendors are also inspected. The results of the
inspections were satisfactory.
RESTAURANTS AND EATING HOUSES.
There are 27 of these premises in the Borough. The results
of the inspections, both of the food and the kitchens, have been
satisfactory.
FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS.
The Register of Factories and Workshops has been maintained.
There are at present 225 Factories, Workshops, and Workplaces in
the Borough. These have all been inspected during the year. In
addition 239 homes of outworkers have been inspected.
It was found necessary to serve 47 Intimation Notices and
Statutory Notices, principally for cleansing and unsuitable or defective
W.C. accommodation. In every case the nuisances were abated.
