The Vestry having considered as to the cleansing of rooms after infectious disease:
Resolved that the matter be left in the hands of the Chief Sanitary Inspector to engage
temporary assistance as required.
Cow-houses.
The Cow-houses and one Slaughter-house have been duly inspected, and with two
exceptions were found to be in a satisfactory condition.
Bake-houses.
Complaint having been received from Her Majesty's Superintending Inspector of
Workshops, calling attention to the dirty condition of two Bake-houses in the parish, and
upon inspection, the occupiers undertook to cleanse same forthwith, which was duly carried
out.
Regulations made under the Factory and Workshops Acts of 1878 and 1883, relative to
the cleanliness of Bake-houses, were submitted to the Yestry, and it was Resolved that the
said Regulations be approved and printed copies thereof be furnished to the bakers
throughout the parish.
I attended the conference convened by the Vestry of St. George-the-Martyr, Southwark,
re the amendment of the law relating to Bake-houses, when the following resolutions were
passed, viz.:—
1. That the present state of the law relating to Bake-houses requires amendment
by the addition of the following clauses to the Public Health (London)
Act, 1891
(a) • That uniform Metropolitan Bye-laws regulating Bake-houses be made
by the London County Council, and be confirmed by the Local Government
Board, and that the duty of enforcing these Bye-laws shall devolve upon the
various Local Sanitary Authorities.
