Ward 3 St. Margaret, and Ward 2 St. John.
Three certificates have been granted under Section 48 of the
Public Health (London) Act to premises newly erected,

Works Co.
Bakehouses.
The bakehouses in the various Wards have been periodically

These premises have all been frequently inspected during
the year, and the cleansing and lime-washing have been carried
out in a satisfactory manner.
