Of the steam launches, the two larger ones are continuing to work satisfactorily.
The " Denton " has been disposed of, and a motor launch has been built for work in
the upper reaches of the river where the shallow draught and increased speed of this
type of vessel makes for greater efficiency.
Your Committee have to report with regret the loss by death in November, after a
long illness, of Inspector W. G. Romeril, who at the time of his death occupied the
position of senior Sanitary Inspector.
The Annual Report on Canal Boats required by the Canal Boats Act is appended
to this Report.
In accordance with the Order of your Honourable Court, an account of Receipts
and Expenditure in connection with the Port of London Sanitary Authority for the
year ended the 31st December last, is appended for the information of the Court.
All which we submit to the judgment of this Honourable Court. Dated this
fifth day of May, 1914.
