As a result of the inspection of the workrooms, workshops,
and workplaces in the Borough, it was found that for
the most part they were in a satisfactory condition, and that
the requirements of the Act were duly observed by the occupiers.
Systematic examination has been made of the eatinghouses,
cookshops, and other places where food is prepared
for sale, and the occupiers of these, generally speaking, have
kept their places in good and cleanly order.
In no instance was it necessary to take legal proceedings
to enforce compliance with the requirements set out in the
notices served for the abatement of nuisances.
In addition to the ordinary inspections made of outworkers'
premises, each address contained in the lists received
in the early part of the year, i.e., previous to February, and
not including those received in August, were visited in order
to ascertain if work was still carried on, and if breaches of
the Act had been made by reason of the employer failing to
notify the name and address of the outworker.
