e mncmoi or kotos boats or TT.aTVTT.-PWTA DISTRICT P • jAII owners and operators of motor B boats 1q the Customs District of Phllat dalphla should give Immediate atten- |. tlon to the proper equipment of their ) boats as Navigation Inspectors have ..been detailed by Charles R. Kurtz, Sur- [_ veyor of Customs. Philadelphia, to conI atantly patrol all navigable waters In this District during the months of July, B -August and September. The District |> embraces triV eastern portion of FennI sylvanla. all of Delaware, and all of P New Jersey except the territory adja- | cent to New York. This, therefore, InP eludes all navigable waters along the [ New Jersey coast from Bay Head south ' to Cape May, the Delaware Bay, the B Delaware River, the Schuyklll River, ( and the Susquehanna River. These ? rivers are .known as navigable waters I Wherever motor boats are or can be | operated on them. t All motor boats, wben operating, w should* have the following equipment: fey Approved appliances for extinguishing B burning gasoline; an approved life prefc" server, or similar appliance for each B person on board, capable of sustainlng i aflbat for a' continuous period of 24 I hours a weight of not less than 20 r -pounds; a whistle, foghorn or bell, capI i able of producing proper signals which K can be heard at least one half mile; I carry two copies of 'Pilot Rules' aboard. I In addition, proper lights must be dls- ■ played at night when operating or while j at anchor. f The Department of Commerce has lsI" gued special Instructions regarding the E necessary equipment of motor boats in f what is known ss "Department Circular | ! No. 226" entitled "Regulation of Motor 1 F Boats;" also "Form 804" entitled "Pilot j P Rules." These publications' are sup- ; L plied free of charge and are distributed j L by the navigation Inspectors.

ACsStoms officials that In all cases the! rmot'or Ixjat regulations must be enforc- | t ed. The supervision of this work In j j the District of Philadelphia has been, 6 assigned to the Surveyor of Customs by I Wm. H. Berry. Collector of Customs. t. It is the aim of the Department to f give ample notice to ipotor-boat owners | «f the forthcoming Inspection. Special '

(notices have been mailed to 'all yacht 7 1 and boat clubs, and many Individuals ' I throughout the District, giving neces- j sary information regarding tne requlr>r ed- equipment and the enforcement of »- these regulations. The various local ' J- newspapers will, no doubt. *o-operate 1 'r by giving publicity to the effort to safe- 1 " guard life. !! r- The oblyct Is to secure general com- ' < 1- pllance with these regulations. and 1 »> thereby protect the lives of all persons!1 who may use such boats, instead of re- ' :t porting violations and Imposing the 1- heavy tines provided. For that reason . >f the earnest co-operation is desired of all 1 1- persons Interested In motor boats to ' 1- make these regulations effective thruoul - le the District. , 1 h Beginning with July 1st four or rilore 1 e navigation Inspectors with motor boats. 1 r. carrying the Customs Revenue flag so 1 e that they can easily be Identified, will ' ■s be constantly pa trolling- navigable wi- 1 « ters for the purpose of Inspecting all ' motor boats In the District. These " I, men have been fully Instructed and have J g regulations. They will cheerfully give a - all possible Information as to the proper 1 h compliance with the law. ^ In all mat- 1 u ters they will be courteous and consid- 1 f crate In dealing with the public, prefer- " 0 ring to aid and instruct rather than to': - harass, unduly annoy, or persecute any- ] ; After having given extended public j 1. notlA of -the forthcoming Inspection, 1 • - these officers must report each and ev- j ' e ery violation that comes to their atten- j i ilon to the Department, regardless of 1 I - mitlgationg circumstances, as authority - e to mitigate and remlt penalties Is vest- l 1 njed solely In the Secretary of Commerce. 1 r|. When navigation inspectors are on . r | duty the official badge will be worn as ! t j proof of authority, and when on boats - they will also display t.ie U. S. Cus- ; 1 itoms Revenue flag. In prosecuting s their work tbey will signal motor boats f g within hailing distance to stop and sub- - mlt. to inspection. Operators of motor ;M»oat8 who wilfully disregard such' no- ' It Ice, or any persons who assault, resist.! . [or In any way hinder navigation Inspectors In tbe execution of the law relat1. ing to motor boats, will be liable to a I penalty of 1500. . j The Importance of this warning will ' j , | be appreciated by ownws-of motor boats 1 j .^.when the realize thq extent of the fines H Lthgt are provided by the regulations tor 1 the following violations, to wit : - j Anchor light 1250 ! 1 .[Running light ' j00 , j Sound producing devices 100 j . iLife saving appliances 100 1 j Operator's license j j6() Means for extinguishing burning | gasoline .....' 100 Pilot Rules not on aboard 250 |j (For further information regarding ! ] p I above fines- see "Department Circular! j 1 1 J 26" entitled "Regulation of Motor it| Boats). , Last season, despite the wide public- ' r jlty and warning given to motor boat ' ,j owners, over seven hundred (700) vio- j . latlons were reported in this District, j . and In nearly all cases heavy fines were 'Imposed and collected. ,j That to why It Is important that all' , \ mptor boat owners should heed this no- | j I tice and thereby avoid unnecessary an- I , ; noyance and needless expense, as the 1 1 [regulations will be rigidly enforced. 1 I 1 ; 1
