Broorafield Park, consisting of about 54 acres, the Local Government
Board having sanctioned the purchase thereof by the Council at the
sura of £25,000, of which amount the Middlesex County Council has
agreed to contribute £0,250. The acquirement of this Park in the
centre of, what will eventually become, a large and populous neighbourhood,
will doubtless be very beneficial to the District, as a permanent
open space and recreation ground, more especially in the
future.
Cowsheds, Brains, Slaughter-houses, and Bake,
houses.—These have all been systematically inspected, and have
been kept in a satisfactory condition, in accordance with the Bye-laws.
Factory and Workshop Act, 1901.—The workshops in the
District have been visited, and the sanitary condition, &c., noted in
the register now being kept under the above Act. The lists of outworkers
have been received from the different Authorities, and the
houses of such outworkers were visited and found in a satisfactory
condition.
Underground Bakehouses.—There is only one underground
bakehouse in the District, which the Council will have to deal with
when the time arrives.
