No. of persons occupying boats.
64 men. 58 women. 67 children.
I take this opportunity of submitting the following suggestions
which would, I feel sure, be of great assistance to
Inspectors generally in carrying out the work of inspection,
and I would respectfully ask that a recommendation be made
to ascertain if it be possible for the Local Government Board
to frame a regulation making it compulsory for the master of
the canal boat to keep a register on board :—
(a) Giving the Christian and surname and the age of
each occupant.
(b) Giving the date of last painting.
(c) Giving the dates and particulars of each complaint
note served with respect to the boat.
(d) Giving the Captain's name and address.
(e) Showing the signature of Inspector at each visit of
inspection.
I have to report further that on the 12th December, 1906,
Mr. Llewellyn, H.M. Inspector of Canal Boats, visited these
offices and expressed his satisfaction with the manner in
which the duties of Canal Boat Inspector had been discharged
in Willesden.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
H. D. WOODS,
Inspector of Canal Boats.
