Canal Boats Acts, 1877 to 1884.
In accordance with Section 3 of the Canal Boats Act,
1884, I beg to report as follows :—
During the year 1924, 17 visits and inspections were
made in connection with the Canal Boats Acts. There do
not appear to be many boats subject to inspection in this
part of the river. The working stages are short and the
crews live ashore instead of on board.
