The death rate from Inflammatory Affections of the Lungs is less by 0-51
per 1,000 in the models.
The fatal accidents among children under five is, as might be expected,
slightly higher in model dwellings.
Factory and Workshops Act.
The number of workshops in the district vary from time to time. During
the Inspectors' visits they come across rooms that have been converted into
workshops, without the owners having taken the trouble of applying to the Home
Office for an abstract of the Act for the purpose of posting it up. A few months
afterwards probably the owner removes to another place. It is impossible
therefore to keep a correct list of the workshops with the number of people
employed therein.
Cleanliness.—Most of the workshops were cleansed at the proper period,
but some were found in such a condition as to require cleansing, and 545
notices were sent for this purpose.
Ventilation.—Ventilation was improved and effluvium nuisances were
abated as the result of serving 75 notices.
Overcrowding.—As stated above, overcrowding was abated in 51 workshops.
Water closet accommodation.—Additional water closet accommodation was
provided in 104 workshops.
