CANAL BOATS.
The following measures were taken in this
district to carry out the provisions of the Canal
Boats Acts, 1877-1884. During the year ending
December, 1902, 125 boats were inspected, of
which number 33 were found contravening the Acts
and Regulations, and requiring the service of 35 complaint
notes. The total number of infringements
observed was 48, of which 26 have been remedied,
leaving 22 to be dealt with in relation to which
correspondence is still proceeding. There has been no
notification of any infectious disease nor were any
cases of sickness of an infectious nature discovered.
Forty visits were paid to the canal for the purpose of
inspecting boats. H. M. Inspector of Canal Boats
visited these Offices on the 31st May, 1902, to inspect
the books kept under the Acts, and expressed his
satisfaction with the results of the boat inspections.
Below will be found particulars of inspections
and infringements.
