Government Will Fine All Who
Fail to Provide Motor Craft
With Safeguards.
Unless locul motor bout owners ob?
serve more van fully the regulations
governing lights and safely appliances
laid down by Ihe United states De?
partment ol Con merce and Labor, they
will lay themselves liable to a lino
of $100 foij each violation of the Motor
Boat Act, to 1?- assessed by the col?

Under Instructions from the Depart?
ment of Commerce ami Labor, special
agent A. '.. Dryden. ot Washington, has
been conducting an Investigation of
lliotoi craft which ply upon tho James
ami nearby rivers, ills investigations
a' the city wharves revealed a number
of boats doilclcnt in the equipment
required by the Federal laws. The
owners ?<( these boats escaped Im?
mediate tine from the fact that In
every ease the delinquent craft was
found tied up at the dock and not In
use. 'I'h- boats Were reported to the
d, partition! ni Washington.
\\ lint I- a Motor lloai.
Under the definition of the Federal
law. motor boats Include all machin?
ery-propelled vessels not more than
slxty-tlve feet In length, except tug
boats and tow boats propelled by
steam. In this class fall most of the
privat' ly-owned pleasure craft which
travel the witters of the James. Mr.
Dryden reported favorably upon tho
71 mi ted number which came ein den?
tils observation, but a large number of
boats. It Is believed, would not have
been able 10 pass the examination.
Tin act prescribes that all boats
twenty-seven f, et in length and less,
shall carry: tlrst. a white light aft
to show nil around the horizon; and
;-? cond, a combined lantern In tho
forepart of the v sscl and lower than
tho white light aft. showing green to
starboard and red to port, so fixed
as to throw the Ugh from right ahead
lo two points abaft the beam on their
respective aides.
Life Preservers.
Boats ?f gW?tOr length are re?
quired to narry additional and speci?
ally constructed lights, specifications
of which will I e furnished to every
motor boat owner upon application !?>
Collector at Customs B. B. Arnold,
Ho has i-ecelved for distribution a
number of copies of tho Motor Boat
Ac- with willen every boat owner ia
asked by the department to provide
himself.
In addition to the lights, onch boat
is required to bo provided with re?
quisite life-preservers, life belts, or
buoyant cushions. Every motor boat,
under the provisions ot the act, must
carry a .vhlstlo or other sound pro?
ducing apparatus capable of producing
a blast >f two seconds or more dura?
tion. For failure to equip any motor
Oat with any of these safeguards the
law provides a minimum flno of 5100
for each separate offense.
