BAKEHOUSES.
The Bakehouses of the District have been twice inspected
during the year by the Sanitary Inspector and myself. The
worst of them, at 11, Fair-street, has since my inspection been
closed and demolished. In most of them the Board's regulations
have been complied with. Notices were served on the
Occupiers of those in which sanitary defects were found.
The one at 11, Railway Approach, is no longer used as a
Bakehouse.
HOUSING OF THE WORKING CLASSES ACT, 1890.
Fourteen houses were found to be in such an insanitary
state as to justify proceedings under this Act-
Brewer's-turning, Nos. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10;
John's-court, No. 6;
Railway-cottages, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
6, John's-court was closed by the owner without further
proceedings.
The Magistrate ordered the work, necessary to make the
houses in Brewer's-turning and Railway-cottages fit for human
habitation, to be executed. In the case of the latter cottages,
much trouble was given before the requirements of the Board
were carried out.
