(2) The total number of boats inspected during the year was 1,110, of
which 1,006 were found conforming to the Canal Boats Acts and Regulations
In addition to these, 58 boats were visited, and the cabins found to be
locked, there being no one on board. Inspection was therefore impossible,
and they are not included in the number of boats inspected, although it means
that the time of the Inspector was occupied in visiting the 58 canal boats
referred to,
(3) The total number of infringements found was 130. A formal notice
was served in each case on the owner of the canal boat, requiring him to
inform me within a certain time when the infringement no longer existed.
(a) Two boats were found to be unregistered. One of these was a new
boat which replaced one of the same name registered with this Authority,
the use of which, as a canal boat, had been discontinued.
The other unregistered boat was used for the carriage of gas liquor.
Both boats were found to comply with the requirements of the Canal Boats
Regulations, and on a formal request from the owners the boats were
registered.
