cate granted pursuant to Section 101 of the Factory and Workshop
Act, 1901, should lapse if and when the premises to which such
certificate refers became disused as an underground bakehouse,
and that the premises should not again be so used until a new
certificate had been granted.
The Standing Joint Committee asked that, in order to give
effect to the above arrangement, each Metropolitan Borough
Council would supply to the Secretary of the District Surveyors'
Association a list of the premises included in their registers of
underground bakehouses.
The Council expressed themselves in agreement with the
views of the Metropolitan Boroughs' Standing Joint Committee,
and resolved to supply to the Secretary of the District Surveyors'
Association a list of the premises included in the Council's register
of underground bakehouses.
High Street Underground Convenience. Additional Arromtnodation
for Women.
For some time past the Public Service Committee have had
under consideration the necessity for providing additional accommodation
for women at High Street underground convenience,
or in the immediate vicinity, the existing accommodation of two
W.C.s being, in their opinion, insufficient to meet the present needs.
They communicated with the Port of London Authority with
regard to a suggested site on Canal Head, High Street, Peckham, and
appointed a special Sub-Committee to consider the whole question.
This Sub-Committee visited the site at Canal Head and an alternative
site in Collyer Place, and duly submitted their report, in which
they suggested increasing the accommodation at the High Street
underground convenience by the addition of four W.C.s.
The Public Service Committee were in agreement with the
views expressed by the Sub-Committee, and were of opinion that
the work of providing the suggested additional accommodation
at the High Street underground convenience should be put in hand,
at the estimated cost submitted by the Borough Engineer and
Surveyor, namely, £835.
The Council at their meeting in January adopted the scheme
for providing this additional accommodation for women at the
High Street convenience, the work to be carried out by the direct
employment of labour under the supervision of the Borough
Engineer and Surveyor at an estimated cost of £835. A proviso
was added, however, that in the event of the Borough Engineer
when digging the necessary trial holes, encountering any unexpected
difficulties, he was to cease operations pending the further consideration
of the matter by the Public Service Committee.
(The work of providing the additional accommodation has
now been completed.)
