the year was 73, including four factory bakehouses where power is used. The
number remains the same as for 1907. Of these 30 are above ground and 43

defective ventilation, in two instances rain water pipes were defective, and in
two instances other insanitary conditions required attention. In all cases the
usual sanitary notices were served and complied with, and it was not necessary
to specially direct the attention of the Health Committee to any of the bakehouses.
