I would again direct attention to the labour involved by the
constant removal and change of address of persons on the register of
outworkers. This required 164 names to be cancelled during the
year.
In one case it was necessary to take action owing to homework
being done in unwholesome premises; and in three cases work was
found on premises where infectious sickness had been notified, and
the articles were disinfected before removal to the employers.
The number of factories on register at the close of the year was
39 ; number of inspections, 68. The number of workshops on register
at the close of the year was 269; number of inspections, 423. The
number of outworkers on register at the close of the year was 411;
number of inspections, 380. Workplaces other than the above (including
food premises) were—on the register, 207; number of
inspections, 389. 101 intimations were served during the year with
respect to the various premises.
DAIRIES, MILKSHOPS AND PURVEYORS OF MILK.
Constant supervision has been observed in connection with these
premises. The number on the register at the close of 1905 was 193;
there were added during the year 57, and cancelled during the year
52, leaving on the register at the close of the year 198.
The number of inspections during the year was 504. Nine
notices were issued during the year.
The necessary cleansing and lime-washing was carried out,
when asked for, it being necessary in very few cases to proceed by
notice. Defective or corroded measures or vessels were prohibited,
when found in use.
Constant inspection is essential to enforce compliance with the
dairies, cowsheds and milkshops orders, more particularly in small
general shops.
During the year the following circular was printed and circulated,
a copy being served on each registered premises, and has had a good
effect:—

Dear Sir or Madam,
It has been found upon inspection, from time to time, of the
dairies, cowsheds, and milkshops, in the borough, that special care is
