Administrative History
Legislation of 1886 (L. 1886, Ch. 409) established regulations for employment of women and children in factories and directed the governor to appoint a factory inspector and assistant factory inspector to enforce the regulations and prosecute violators. The following year the Legislature authorized the factory inspector to appoint up to eight deputies with the same duties.
