Canal Boats Acts, 1877 and 1884.
Sir,

I beg herewith to present the Annual Report for the year ending
31st December, 1916, as to the execution of the Canal Boats
Acts, 1877 and 1884, and of the Regulations made thereunder,
within the Urban district of Heston and Isleworth, Middlesex.
During the absence of Mr. TV. E. Balchin on military duty,
Mr. R. H. Butler, Inspector of Nuisances, has acted as Canal
Boat Inspector. Owing to the reduction of the Inspectorial Staff

Twelve inspections were made of 12 boats. On 1 of these
boats 1 infringement of the Acts and Regulations was found.
The following table gives details as regards the contraventions
dealt with during the year:—
