So that I felt some saving of time might be effected by waiting until
the new Act was in force, and we could legally demand the sending
of lists to us, instead of copying the names and addresses of the
outworkers during my visit to the workshops, often a very lengthlj
process. The names of 57 outworkers living in this district, but
working for employers in other parts, have been forwarded to us by
various Local Authorities this year.
Nuisances.—I have found nuisances existing on 483 premises; 372
of these nuisances I dealt with myself, and can report the abatement
of 251, the remaining 111 were banded over to the district Sanitary
Inspector by the Medical Officer of Health. In the prosecution of
my duty I have found it necessary to send 253 intimations of nuisances,
19 statutory notices of same, and to apply at the North London Police
Court for three summonses.
Workroom cards showing the number of persons permitted in each
room have been distributed to 114 workrooms.
Including inspections of eight w.c.'s connected with ladies' waiting
rooms at various railway stations in the district, the total number of
visits paid by me in the discharge of my duties during 1901 was 2,242.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
ALICE TEEBAY.
