Yours very truly, GEORGE E. CURTIS. P. S.—I enclose the following per- tinent article from this week's issue of Power Boat News: Collectors of customs all along the I want are in receipt of letters from ,‘he Department of Commerce and ha- 301‘, Bureau of Navigation, calling at- tention to abuses and violations of the law which have occurred as the re- sult of the cariossness and negligence of owners .of power boats. which are classed as ’stcam vessels. whether car- tying sail or not. Among the violations are those of non-observance of the “Miles of the road " neglect to can'y lights in the night time, and overloading of small craft with passengers, to the danger of the lives of those aboard. Some of the craft carry lights pre- scribed for sail vessels and observe the rules of the road only for sell ves- sels, when the contrary should be the practice. The attention of custom houses Is called to this matter with orders to enforce. as far as practicable. the regulations relating thereto. Power boats are regarded as steam vessels. . and as such should carry lights and observe the rules of the road. There has been a rapid increase in “the number of power boats. Rules for their guidance have been postcd at custom houses. and for the benefit of power boat owners. An auxiliary, when under sail alone, is classed as a sailing vessel, but when under power alone or power and sail is classed with steam craft, like all power boots. ,The absence of lights is not the Only cause of complaint, although the dun— gov to which a lightloss boat is hob- jected In more than to other craft, and the guilty party never realizes the . danger or chances he takes. ‘ Another cause of complaint is the unnecessary unmufilcd or but partly unwed exhaust with whl1l1 many «boots are equipped and which are 1111- 1111 frequently in the early hours in tin pundit of their usual avo1aiions fish- in, lobsterlng. etc. to the annoyam c of the occupants of summci cottages and hotel guests. and worse than all.

While we would not approve of so radical a measure as this, the operat- ing of noisy power boats between the hours of 10 p. m. and 6 a. 111. should be prohibited by legal enactment. The following from the Toledo (0.) Blade shows another danger and nui- sauce: “Numerous complaints have been re- ceived by the customs officials regard- ing the reckless manner in which pow- er boats are run on the river, both at night and during the day. “in fact, one of the complainants positively identified one of the boats, and the owner has been cited to ap- pear before Colonel Bonner and show cause why he should not be fined. "it is understood that the son of the owner had the boat out. and to his knowledge had all kinds of fun scam- pcring after small boats in a way which led the occupants of the smallel craft to believe they would be run down. A merry ha-ba came from the power boat when the persons in the rowboat became frightened. "Another owner of a power boat has had two complaints made against him. both for 1coklcss running as well as being without the required lights at night A close watch is being kept on him. and a fine of $200 is likely to be inflicted. “All small boats are. required to have a light at night, and rowbonts and canoes must have a light on the stem of the boat. A light carried in the bottom is not sufficient. “This rule is being rigidly enforced. and every violation means a fine 01 $200. "This enforcement of the manner of carrying lights on small boats is back- ed up by the law given out by th1 Board of Supervising inspectors, dat- ed February 18, 1881, and every decis- ion since made refers back to that de cision. "It states that fishing boats, canax boats, etc, and all other water craft shall carry one or more good white lights. which shall be placed in‘such a manner as shall be prescribed by the Board of Supervising Inspectors of steam vessels. This board prescribes that rowboats shall carry one whitt- tWo feet above the stem. As to thc lights necessary on canoes, and as to thr- location of such lights, the rule as to rowboats is made applicable by the local authorities." CAPT.
