t There is no canal in the East Combined and Poplar South Divisions; the
Inspectors deputise, when necessary, for other Inspectors.
If Mr. H. J. Langley reported "Although there are many canal boats that
sail through Bromley Reach, they do not stop until they arrive at Bromley
Lock, therefore I have not paid a visit to any canal boat."
* Mr. W. Johnson reported one boat was overcrowded through carrying
an extra boy (during holidays). In another case, repainting of woodwork was
necessary, and in a third the boat was not marked or numbered, and was unoccupied
at time of visit.
** Mr. A. J. Field reported that one registered boat was visited twice.
