In the case of 64 boats no reply was received; in 13 cases my letter failed
to find the owners, and was returned by the Post Office, and in the case of
one boat ownership was repudiated.
In the case of boats in respect of which definite information has been
obtained that such boats are no longer used as canal boats, application will
be made to the Port of London Sanitary Authority for the removal of the
boats from the Registered Authority.
(9) One new boat was registered. This boat was found being used while
unregistered.
On the owners being communicated with, it was ascertained that the boat
replaced one of the same name registered with this Authority.
The use of the old boat, as a canal boat, has been discontinued, and the
registration cancelled.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Medical Officer of Health, Port of London.
