There is considerable interest
among Norwnlk motorboat owners
concerning the agitation to the effect
that the statute passed by the last
general assembly, which stipulates
that every motorboat in the state be
registered with the town clerks in the
1districts, may be illegal in that it
[conflicts with federal control. There's
no doubt that the federal government
has jurisdictions over the navigable
waters of the state and this being the
case, it is argued, it is dtiicult to,seo
just how the legislature could frame
'11 law that would take the federal of-
flcinls‘ power and transfer it to the
state.

Up to Town Clerks.

Attorney General George E Hin-
mun said yesterday that the question
of the constitutionality of the new
motorboat iicense‘law was one which
must be settled by the towns of Con
necticut and not by the state. “If a
town clerk,"1 said the attorney-gener-
al, “thinks the law is being violated
it is up to hotn to consult with the
prosecutor it is time then for the de
fendsnt to question whether the law
is constitutional.

Norwalk Blanks Ready.

Other states-have made similar
statutes and caused motorboat own-
ers to live up to them. it has been
claimed that these laws were illegal.
but nevertheless lines have been 1m
posed and paid. As recorded some
time ago in The Sentinel Town Clerk

 

‘ Herbert R. Smith has announced he is

now ready to register all local motor-
boats. According to the law this must
be done by the first of October and
the fee is 50 cents, payable annually.
