Appendix A.
Special Report under the Factories and Workshops
Act, 1901.
The statistical particulars officially required in respect of
this Act will be found on the pages immediately following this
annotation, and, in Appendix C, there is a table giving an analysis
of the visits made by the Sanitary Inspectors during 1907. I have
myself frequently visited these places, and am satisfied that the
provisions of the Act are generally complied with. There has been
less difficulty this year in securing the compliance of the few
persons in the district employing outworkers, with the Act. The
factories and workshops in this district are chiefly laundries,
bakehouses, and Shoemakers' and dressmakers' premises.
Bye-laws dealing with the provision of means of escape from
fire have been prepared, and submitted to the Local Government
Board for confirmation.
