There are in the Borough 166 registered workrooms which
are occupied exclusively by men. The principal trades engaged
in are Tailoring and Outfitting. These workrooms and shops
have been regularly inspected, and where necessary cleansing

workrooms have been cubed up and registered in accordance
with the Factory and Workshop Act, 1901.

The number of Smoke Nuisances detected or complained of
during the year is 49. All chimnies accused of sending out
black smoke have been diligently watched and observations made.
