The Annual Report on the working of the Canal Boats Acts and Regulations is
appended.
I have pleasure in reporting that all grades of your Staff carried out their duties
in a highly satisfactory manner. Dr. Cadman resigned on December 31st to take
up an appointment in the City and Port of Hull. Mr. Garland and Mr. Rolfe, Pood
Inspectors, Mr. Jarvis, Master of the "Joseph White," and Mr. Steen, Supervisory
Engineer, retired on pension, all, unfortunately, on account of ill-health.
The health work of so large a port could not be carried out by a comparatively
small Staff without the co-operation of the Officers of His Majesty's Customs, the
Port of London Authority, the Pilots and the members of the Staffs of the Shipping
Companies and Merchants, and their assistance and courtesy is gratefully
acknowledged.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
CHARLES F. WHITE.
