To the Senate: = -'''-
Your Committee on Commerce and Manu-
Iactures beg leave to report in favor of the
passage OF House bill No. 70, to be entitled
an act to amend sections first and fifteenth
OF an act entitled San act relative to pilots,n
approved April 7, 1865. The necessity of
having no persons acting as pilots but such
as are IN all respects competent, Is Sc great
mat your committee believe that this bill,
which confines the number 10 be appointed
10 forty, which has been found by long ex-
perlence to be sufficient, and to form suffi.
clent inducement for men Of tried expert
ence to confne themselves to the employ
ment; and as the bill displaces none Of
those now holding positions as pilots, but
permits their places to remain filled by them
until vacancies arise from death or resigna-
hon, the Dill can do no injustice to any one.
we recommend the passage of the bill.
