HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS.
The 3 houses let in lodgings are not in good hygienic
condition. They have not separate sanitary accommodation
and structurally they are unsuitabe for more than one tenant.
THE COMMON LODGING HOUSE.
It was noticeable at the last inspection that the usual
clean condition of the premises had not been maintained.
BAKEHOUSES.—
It is to be hoped that with an accession of
labour in the coming year the sanitary condition of the
bulk of these will be considerably improved. Three informal
notices referring to breaches of sanitary requirements were
served with the result that the defects were remedied.
SLAUGHTER HOUSES.—
Only one of these was used and that infrequently during
the year.
COWSHEDS AND DAIRIES.—
It is to be hoped that in the coming year considerable
improvement will be made in the condition of these, more
especially in the matter of cleanliness.
OFFENSIVE TRADES.
The only offensive trades in the district are fried fish
shops (5) : No complaints were received concerning these,
and on inspection the premises were always found clean.
FACTORIES.
There are 8 factories, viz., Greenhill laundry, School
laundry, Kanok blades, Hack Saw, Leaborne Motor Works,
Ham Factory, Gas Works, and the Electric Light station.
The number of people employed in these is about 480. There
are 100 workshops and 20 workplaces in the district. A
record of inspections, notices, prosecutions, etc., of these
three types of premises is set out in the following tables :—
