(d) Overcrowding;. The cubic capacity of a number of
Workshops, Bakehouses, &c , has been taken, and
it is anticipated that this branch of work will
shortly be completed, so that a complete list of
particulars of all Workshops, Bakehouses, &c.
within the district will be obtained. No case of
overcrowding has been detected.
(e) Cleanliness. The Workshops have been found in a
cleanly state with six exceptions. Notices to
cleanse, were served in three instances and were
complied with, in the three other cases the
cleansing was done without formal notice.
(f) Ventilation No case of insufficient ventilation has
been observed.
(g) Safety from Fire. In cases where more than 40
persons are employed the Local Authority must
satisfy themselves that sufficient means of escaping
in case of Fire are provided, and if satisfied must
grant a certificate to that effect. No building was
found within the District at which more than 40
persons are employed.
(h) Underground Bakehouses. Under Section 101 of
the Act, it will not be legal to use an underground
Bakehouse after the 1st January, 1904, unless such
Bakehouse, be certified by the District Council to
be suitable for that purpose. One underground
Bakehouse has been enlarged and improved and
the Council expressed satisfaction, as to its
suitability.
