CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE ACT, 1890.
During the past year applications were made to me by five
owners of tenement properties to inspect their property, with a
view to giving certificates that the tenements were so constructed
"as to afford suitable accommodation for each of the families or
"persons dwelling therein, and that due provision is made for their
"sanitary requirements," for the purpose of obtaining exemption
from Inhabited House Duty. The five applications had reference
to 51 tenements. These I inspected, and granted the required
certificates, after the execution of certain necessary alterations.
CANAL BOATS ACT, 1877-1894.

of the Regulations, i.e. the marking on the boat required by
Act was not legible. The remainder of the boats were found to
be in good repair, clean and habitable.
