These contraventions were remedied and it was not found
necessary to take legal proceedings.

Of the 91 Canal Boats inspected, 40 were occupied by men only,
16 by men and women and 35 by men, women and children.
The number of children on the boats was 64, of which 34
were of school age and 30 were under school age. The children
accompanying their parents on the boats appeared to be well
cared for.
No case of infectious disease was notified or discovered on
the canal boats, therefore isolation of patients and detention of
boats has not been necessary.
The inspection of canal boats is part of the duty of the sanitary
inspector whose district includes that part of the Borough in which
the canal is situated.
Public Conveniences.
There are seven underground public conveniences in the
Borough under the control of the Borough Engineer and Surveyor.

the lady inspector visiting the women's side.
Any special matters are brought to the notice of the Health
Committee.
In addition there are ten urinals.
