Canal Boats Acts, 1877 and 1884.
61 Canal Boats were inspected during the year. Their condition was very good.
Infringement of the Acts and regulations were discovered as follows, viz.:—
Certificates 1 Overcrowding 2
Marking 1 Painting 5
Whenever there was an infringement of the Acts, a notice was sent to the owner
of the Canal Boat requiring him to remedy the cause of complaint, and to forward
within a specified period a certificate signed by some duly appointed Inspector of
Canal Boats, that the same had been done. Such certificate was afterwards received.
One boat was registered during the year.

New Bye-laws made under Section 94, Public Health (London) Act, 1891, were
submitted to the Local Government Board early in 1901.
