not in accordance with legal requirements, in one the drainage arrangements required
amendment, and in one instance, viz., the bakehouse at 189, High Street, the general
sanitary condition of the premises was very unsatisfactory. This bakehouse was
disused for a time; the steps taken in connection with it have already been referred
to. It was relet as a bakehouse after being thoroughly dealt with. The bakehouse,
situate at No. 183 City Road, is not at present in use; it was in a satisfactory state
when inspected.
The underground bakehouses in Shoreditch which were certified during the year
in accordance with the requirements of Section 101 of the Factory and Workshop
Act, 1901, number 46. They are situate at the addresses set out below:—

numbered 7. They are situate as follows: —

Great Cambridge Street, No. 36

No applications for certificates were received in respect to these bakehouses.
Those situate at Nos. 88 Bridport Place and 273 Kingsland Road could be put into
condition to merit certificates without much expense. That at No. 58, Cropley Street
is a small unsatisfactory bakehouse, and has been disused as a bakehouse for about
18 months. No baking has been done at No. 35, Great Cambridge Street for several
months past, and the premises have been converted into a general shop. The bakehouse
in Phillip Street has been disused for 12 months ; the premises are empty and partly
demolished.
In my report for last year I mentioned that the question of the requirements to be
