Town Kail, Bridgwater. March, 1958. To the Chairman and Members of the Bridgwater Port Health Authority, Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to submit my report for the year ended 31st December, 1957. The number of coastwise ships using the Port during the year has increased by 21%, with a corresponding increase in the total tonnage. This is mainly due to the tankers using the new v/harf at '/i/alpole. There have been six more ships from foreign ports visiting the Port as compared with the previous year. The inspections carried out have not revealed any serious defects, whilst no rats were found on any vessel. R. K. Lh^iN, Port Health Inspector. - 3 -
