(2.) The total number of boats inspected during the year was 1,294.
Of these 1,188 were found to conform to the Acts and Regulations.
The total number of infringements found was 134. In each case written
notice was sent to the owner, on a form, one half of which is to be detached
and returned when the infringement no longer exists, such form having been
first signed by an Inspector of Canal Boats.
The number of cautions given was 82, whilst the number of infringements
reported remedied was 85. This apparent discrepancy is due to the fact that
some of the infringements reported in 1906 were remedied in the early part
of 1907.
The number of boats found to be unregistered was five. Of these four have
been duly registered, after undergoing the necessary structural alterations, &c.,
in order to comply with the Regulations.
In the case of the remaining boat, although technically a canal boat, there
is no evidence so far to show that it is used as a dwelling. When this is
obtained, the necessary steps will be taken to register it as a canal boat.
