enquiries as to whether they would be allowed to attend the baths during the
summer holidays, and the attendance dming that period was well maintained.
On the first attendance of a child at the baths the clothing is steamed, and on
subsequent visits the attendant uses her discretion as to whether the clothing
requires steaming or not. During the cold weather hot cocoa was provided,
which was eagerly looked forward to by the children. 1,314 adults attended
during the year. In each case the clothing was steamed. A very few women
(30 availed themselves of the accommodation provided, notwithstanding that
leaflets were sent to Common Lodging Houses and places frequented by the
class these baths were provided for.
Food Inspection.
I procured 70 samples of food under the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts, and
made 380 inspections of Market Streets. I also visited Milkshops, Dairies,
Ice Cream places, Cowsheds and Slaughterhouses in parts of Wards 3 and 6.
Periodical Inspections.
I made the usual inspections of Bakehouses, Registered Tenement Houses,
Workshops, Factories, &c., and served notices when necessary.
