    BAKE-HOUSES. The number of these in the Borough (including domestic bake-houses) is 34. I have made 63 visits to them during the year. I found them in a satisfactory condition, except for untidiness and unswept floors. Bis Majesty’s Inspector notified the department of several cases of want of cleanliness. In each case I visited the places and had them put right forthwith. There are seven underground bake-houses in the Borough (according to the Act). Keally no baking-room is actually under- ground, but as some portion of the premises is more than 3 feet below the ground adjoining, such places have to be classified as underground. SLAUGHTER-HOUSES. The number of slaughter-houses in the Borough is 23. I have made 62 visits to these places during the year. The whole of them have been kept fairly clean. In seven cases I ordered them to be limewashed. OFFENSIVE TRADES. There are ten places coming under this description in the Borough. With one exception they are all connected with the tripe trade. I have had to complain in five cases, four of which are now satisfactory. I have made 23 visits to these places during the year. LODGING-HOUSES. There are three registered ones in the Borough. They are under the supervision of the Chief Constable,, who reports to you thereon. I have made 22 visits to these places during the year, and have caused several sanitary improvements to be made to the accommodation for sanitary purposes.
