CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE ACT, 1890.

tenement properties in the Borough during 1909 to inspect their
properties with a view to granting certificates under the above
Act, that the tenements were so constructed "as to afford suitable

therein, and that due provision is made for their sanitary requirements,"

certificates, after the execution of certain necessary alterations.

required re-painting and the registration number on the side
renewing, and on the other boat the cabin also required repainting,
