The Bicycle makers are on the increase in the
District, these were kept under observation and in
two instances instructions were given that special
provisions should be made to carry off the fumes
emanating from the process of brazing.
As this business is of a very dirty nature the
periodical Lime-washing of premises is essential.
Notices were served on the Proprietors to carry
out the necessary work as required by the statute and
in all cases were observed.
BAKEHOUSES.
The Bakehouses in District number 51; of these
19 are underground, and in many instances are not all
that could be desired, being dark, with low ceilings,
and not efficiently ventilated.
The Bakehouse Regulations call for the limewashing
to be done twice a year, but it is found
necessary to call upon the proprietors of those underground
to do so at more frequent intervals.
The greater number of those built above ground
are kept in a most cleanly condition, and in a few
instances where the walls are covered with white
glazed tiles or bricks, the appearance of cleanliness
and light is greatly enhanced. In no case was there
any serious fault calling for special attention, but in
three instances the sanitary arrangements of premises
were remodelled.
