Notices requiring the necessary Sanitary Work
and amendments were served and in all cases no
difficulty was experienced in enforcing same.
The workshops which include Dressmakers,
Tailors, Bicycle makers, and other miscellaneous
businesses aggregating a total of 56 were inspected.
The Dressmakers with a few exceptions are on a
very small scale and employ but two or three hands
besides the proprietress. In many instances the
workroom is improvised for the occasion, and often
serve the purpose of living rooms.
The larger establishments were also visited
and the workroom measured up and the necessary
papers properly filled up and forwarded to the proprietor
to exhibit in a conspicuous place in the
workroom.
In only one instance was there any over-crowding
as laid down by the Statute, which provides that every
adult shall have 250 cubic feet of Air space.
The premises generally were found in a cleanly
condition, but the provisions for ventilation were not
all that should be desired.
The Tailors' workrooms were found with a few
exceptions in good condition, only one case of overcrowding
being discovered.
