Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
Table XCII. shows the nature of the trades carried on in the
workshops inspected.
As in 1908, there has again been a slight decrease in the
numbers, chiefly due to dullness of trade, and also to the fact that
several small laundries which were classed as workplaces have
now been given up, there being only 69 of these now on the
Register, compared with 85 in 1908, and 132 in 1907.
The number of dressmakers and milliners shows some reduction
compared with previous years. The total number, viz.:—
849 (169 in Clapham, 110 in Putney, 280 in Streatham, 69 in
Tooting, and 221 in Wandsworth), is 38 less than in 1908, the
greatest decrease having occurred in Streatham.
