SUMMARY.
Underground bakehouses 27
Aboveground bakehouses 8
Total number of bakehouses in the City 35
During the year 94 inspections of bakehouses were made, and they were
found to be up to the standard required by the Act. In several cases a state
of general and unnecessary untidiness existed, which was immediately remedied
on the Inspector calling attention thereto.
Two aboveground bakehouses were discontinued.
WORKPLACES
(Kitchens of Restaurants, &c.).
The usual inspection of these places was made, and there is practically
nothing to add to what has been stated in my previous Reports.
A number of complaints were received during the summer months of
nuisance from the smell of cooking, burning fat, &c., &c., entering the
windows of offices and other places, and where practicable a remedy was
suggested to occupiers of kitchens. In one case a pipe-shaft was taken from
the basement to the roof level, whilst in another case a shaft was connected to
an existing flue at the first-floor level. There seems no reason why occupiers
of offices, &c., should have to put up with the smell of cooking from
restaurants, when by a proper system of mechanical ventilation all the smell of
cooking could be discharged above the roof level without annoyance to anyone.
†These have been established at least 21 years.
