Bakehouses.
The Medical Officer of Health presented to the
Health Committee on January 30th a Report on
Underground Bakehouses, containing particulars of
suggested requirements tor these structures already in use at that
time in the Borough. This Report was adopted and ordered to be
printed, and a copy was forwarded to the occupier of each underground
bakehouse. A copy of this Report can be obtained upon
application to the Medical Officer of Health.
The structural alterations have been satisfactorily carried out
under the supervision of the Borough Surveyor and Medical Officer

remainder are in course of alteration and certificates will be granted
