There are twelve "Outworkers" resident in the
Borough, and the premises so used were inspected periodically.
This branch of the work requires much more time
devoted to it. No review of the records of Workshop
premises has been possible for some years, and this work is
now overdue.
Stables and Yards
There is no change to report in the condition of stables
and yards in the town. For the past few years a campaign
has been directed against unsuitable stables and the absence
of, or defective condition of, manure receptacles. This work
is more important than it may appear to be at first glance,
as there is a very definite relation between the breeding of
flies and the storage of manure.
The reduction in the number of horses in towns has had
a decided effect in reducing the number of flies.
Sanitary Conditions of Music halls,
Cinemas, &c.
Eleven formal inspections were made of the above
premises during the year under review. The sanitary conveniences
are usually maintained in good order, and the ventilation
apparatus was in good working order when the visits
were made.
Canal Boats Acts, 1877 to 1884.
In accordance with Section 3 of the Canal Boats Act,
1884, I beg to report as follows:—
During the year 1928 two visits and inspections were
made in connection with the Canal Boats Acts. There do
not appear to be many boats subject to inspection in this
part of the river. The working stages are short, and the
crews live ashore instead of on board.
Sanitary Conveniences.
The conveniences attached to licensed houses in this
Borough compare very favourably with similar places in all
