    SECTION IV—INLAND BARGE TRAFFIC There is no barge traffic in the River Tees. SECTION V—WATER SUPPLY Eighty four samples of drinking water were taken from the water boat, vessels and hydrants. Twelve samples of drinking water taken from vessels and submitted for bacteriological examination proved to be unsatisfactory. In each instance when the vessel was still in port the Master was notified and the necessary measure taken to insure a potable supply of drinking water. In the case of vessels not returning to the Tees the owner and/or next ports were advised of the unsatisfactory conditions pre¬ vailing. SECTION VI—PUBLIC HEALTH (SHIPS) REGULATIONS, 1966.
