FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS.
All the factories and workshops in the district have
been inspected during the year and the various sanitary
defects remedied as a consequence.
Very little homework appears to be given out in the
district. At some of the workshops the work done is for
firms in London, but the total amount is not large.
The following tables are on the lines of those issued
by the Home Office. Tables 1 and 2 are printed in full,.
