work from the City firms were duly received without the necessity for legal proceedings.
In 10 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.
One case of infectious disease was reported in connection with outworkers' premises
in the City.
