CANAL BOATS ACTS.
Annual Report for the Year ended 31st December, 1926.
To the Medical Officer of Health,
Sir,
I beg to report for the year ended December 31st, 1926,
that for the purpose of Canal Boats inspection, I made 13
visits, on the following dates, viz.:—
January 1st, February 8th, March 25th, April 1st, May 31st,
June 21st, August 4th and 9th, October 12th, November 4th
and 18th, December 16th and 30th.
No boats were found for inspection during the year ; there
is no doubt that this method of conveying goods has been
superseded as far as the portion of the Canal situated in this
Borough is concerned.
This Council is not a Registration Authority under the
above Acts.
The arrangements made for the inspection of Canal Boats
are : Periodical inspection by Sanitary Inspector duly appointed
under the Canal Boats Acts, jointly with other duties as District
Sanitary Inspector.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
W. F. Mayo,
Canal Boats Inspector.
