Canal Boats Acts, 1877 and 1884.
Pursuant to the Third Section of the Canal Boats Acts 1884, the
Council, being the Registration Authority under the above Acts, has to report
with regard to the execution of such Acts and of the Regulations made
thereunder, and as to the steps taken by them as such authority during the
year to give effect to the provisions of the said Acts and Regulations,
viz.:—
(1) Canal Boats coming within the district are inspected by a
Sanitary Inspector, who received a sum of £10 per annum for the performance
of this duty. His inspection is irrespective of the examination
of Boats made by the Examining Officer prior to their registration.
(2) The number of Boats inspected during the year was 44.
In only one instance was there any infringement of the Acts and Regulations,
viz., Means of ventilation defective. These defects have since been
remedied.
No legal proceedings were taken.
Three children of school age and four under school age were found on
the boats. One of the children was born on the boat whilst lying in the
Limehouse Cut. The mother was attended by Nurses from a local Maternity
Home,
One boy who was living on the boat with his father and who last year
was reported to the Education Authorities, has now been placed in a school.
There is now only one boat on the register.
No boats were registered during the year.
