    31 INCREASE OF RENT, &c., ACTS, 1920 and 1923. No. of applications for certificates received 4 ,, ,, ,, withdrawn ... 1 ,, certificates granted 3 CANAL BOATS ACTS, 1877 and 1884. The number of Canal boats plying on the local waterways has become almost negligible. The decline in the use of water transport has been general, especially in the non-manufactur- ing districts, and the number of boats inspected during the year was the lowest on record. One application was received for registration on account of change of ownership. Of the 55 boats on the register, I can trace only 9 as being- in regular use and considering the number of years these have been in service their condition was very satisfactory. They were clean and in moderately good repair.
