Miss Aldridge reports as follows :—
"The Outworkers' Register is an ever-changing one. Most
of the outworkers on the Register at the beginning of last year
have since removed. 317 additional workers whose homes were
in this Borough were notified to us during last year, and these
homes were all inspected. This home work is done, on the whole,
under wholesome conditions, but the money paid for the work is
sometimes so small that the workers are obliged to live and sleep
and work in the same room, and often to work very long hours
as well.
"Workshops.—These have all been inspected during the
year, and are, on the whole, in a very satisfactory condition.
