Public Health DemandsaClean Bakeshop After an investigation of the bakeries of New York City, Commissioner of Accounts Raymond B, Fosdick made a report to Mayor Gaynor as to their SanitaryCondition. In this report the Commissioner used the following words: “In some cases food stuffs were found under leaking skylights of areaways or in sidewalk vaults under leaking coal holes. Open barrels and tubs containing unbaked material were frequently dis- covered in close proximity to coal, ashes, rubbish and old rags.” There are no “leaking coal holes” and no “coal and ashes” to make the bakeshop filthy and the bread and cake unhealthful if gas ovens are used for baking. The baker who burns gas fuel not only bakes cleaner and better bread but, by avoiding the handling of coal, wood and ashes and the building of fires, makes his work easier, his profits larger and his life happier, Small portable ovens, baking 48 large loaves of bread an hour and using little gas, rent for $12 @ year, Large rotary ovens, baking 224 loaves in 30 minutes with slight cost for gas, can be bought at reasonable prices and on easy terms.
