Outworkers and, Homeworkers.—The provisions of the Act relating to "Outworkers"
were carried out as heretofore, and the lists of the names and addresses of workers receiving
work from the City firms were duly received without the necessity for legal proceedings.
In 40 cases employers neglected to keep lists at their premises and to send copies of the
same to the Corporation as required by the Act. Notice in each case was served upon the
offender and in all cases complied with.
No case of infectious disease was reported in connection with premises occupied by outworkers
in the City.
The following figures show the number of Outworkers notified since 1902:—
