Marylebone Road, N.W.
January 1st, 1908
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,
I beg to submit the following report of work done during
the year ending 1907.
Factories and Workshops.
There are in the Borough 178 registered workshops which
are occupied exclusively by men, chiefly in the trades of tailoring.
The trades represented by the workshops occupied by men
only are as follows :—
Tailors and Outfitters 86
Bootmakers 10
Upholsterers 5
Cabinet Makers 8
Silversmiths 8
These workshops have been periodically inspected, and any
defects in sanitation have been remedied. Any notification of
occupation of new workrooms has received attention.
Notice has been received from 60 occupiers of new workshops,
the trades included being tailoring, upholstery, bridle cutting,
turnery, cabinet making, joinery, trunk making, perfumery-case
making, cleaning, silversmiths, leather-case making and hat
making.
Bakehouses.
During the year 4 of the underground bakehouses have been
closed or used for other purposes, leaving a total of 78 bakehouses
in the Borough, 8 of which are on ground level. These have all
been inspected at various times, and cleansing of premises
ordered where required.
Smoke Nuisances and Trade Nuisances.
Reports of these have been made periodically to the Public
Health Committee. During the year 24 complaints were made,
which received immediate attention, and where necessary
Intimation Notices were served.
Trade Nuisances.—Complaints were made of these in
three instances. Two tripe-boilers' premises were inspected and
cleansing ordered to be done, and complaint was made of
bacon-curing premises in Edgware Road, in which case I had
the flues of the ventilating shaft repaired and put in working
order.
