It is with pleasure I am able to state that the Canal boats
inspected during the year have been found comparatively clean,
and owners have in all cases complied most readily with notices
served re infringements of regulations. The notification of
change of master not being necessary, as the Vestry is an Inspecting
and not a Registering authority.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient servant,
GEORGE E. J. DAVIS,
Inspector under Canal Boats Acts.
