    GENERAL INSPECTIONS. Your Council employ one part-time Public Health Inspector. It is dijSScult to arrange duties in combined appointments in a small local authority, particularly when an Inspector is single-handed, and there has to be considerable elasticity to cover all the responsibilities. There are certain advantages in combined public health inspection and housing management, but I am watching how this system develops. I record my appreciation of his work during the year. Offensive Trades. There are no offensive trades in the District. Faetories. There are 30 factories on the Register. No inspections were made and no written notices were served. No Legal Notices remained out¬ standing at the end of the year. No prosecutions were required. No references were made to H.M. Inspector and none were received from her. No lists of outworkers were supplied to your Council by factory owners, and I have no official knowledge of any cases of default in this respect. There are no basement bakehouses in the District. H.M. Inspector of Factories has been given details of your Urban District’s administration of the relevant sections of Parts I and VIII of the Factories Act, 1964.
