hoped that this treatment may be undertaken in the near
future.
FACTORIES. WORKSHOPS AND WORKPLACES.
The following tables are set out in accordance with the
request of the Secretary of State, Home Office.
There are very few outworkers in the Borough, but
such premises as do exist are inspected from time to time.
The figures in column 3 in Table No. 2 are higher than
those in column 2 in several instances. This is due to the
fact that in column 3 defects, which were discovered previous
to January 1st, 1925, but which were remedied during
the year 1925, have been included:—
