Workshops.
There are 77 Workshops including laundries and bakehouses
on the register. All have at different times been inspected and
found in a satisfactory condition.
Eight notices have been received from H.M. Inspector of
Factories respecting cleansing of premises, these were immediately
complied with. One notice referred to an overcrowded workshop,
and on inspection no evidence was found that the premises were
overcrowded.
Gipsies.
We have again bad trouble with these people, but with the
assistance of the police, in order to prevent a breach of the peace,
we have been able to clear them out of the district, and only in
one instance was it necessary to use force. We shall always be
troubled with these undesirable visitors until the vacant land is
fenced in or built upon.
