Legal proceedings were taken against two owners in the
case of two boats for contraventions under (n) in the foregoing
table. In one case a fine of ten shillings with costs was
imposed; in the other information that the contravention was
remedied came to hand after the summons had been issued.
A fine of two shillings and sixpence was imposed in the latter
case.
No case of infectious disease was reported as occurring
amongst the Canal Boat population during the year.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
George F. Buchan,
Medical Officer of Health.
