The disinfectants used throughout the year were as
follows:—
35 gallons of carbolic acid containing 95 por cent, of tar acids.
36 cwts. of carbolic powder containing 15 per cent, cf carbolic
acid.
2 cwts. of roll sulphur.
l½ cwts. of permanganate of potash crystals.
All the cowhouses and slaughter houses have been
inspected by myself. It was not found necessary to object
to the renewal of these licenses, but in one case certain
improvements had to be carried out prior to renewal to
conform to the bye-laws of the London County Council.
Factory and
Workshop Act.
All workshops have been inspected and found
in a satisfactory condition.
Lists of out-workers have been obtained twice in
the course of the year from all workshops employing
them. Notices have been forwarded to the various
authories of the districts where they reside. No notices
have been received by us, from any other sanitary
authority of outworkers residing in our district. The
The utility of this order, as I have previously pointed out,
is practically nil. It is the duty now, under the Factory
and Workshop Act of 1895, for all employers of outworkers
to send a list of them to the factory inspector
twice a year, on March 1st and September 1st. It is also
the duty of such employers to see that any work given
out by them to be done is not taken to any premises
where there is any case of small-pox or scarlet fever.
It would be of very much greater practical benefit if
a copy of the lists so obtained by the factory inspector
were sent to the sanitary authority, who alone have the
machinery for ascertaining that no work is taken to
any premises where these infectious diseases exist.
