Gradually it begins to get into the

that was before the days of alleged

A REPORT comes from Georgia that
new and entirely unknown disease,

laws. the secretary says The first of these
statutes exempts from enrolment or license
all canal boats employed on the internal
waters or canals of any state, which are not
propelled by sail or internal appliances for
propulsion of their own, or are not employed
in trade with Canada. The statute eXempts
similar vessels not engaged in trade with
contiguous foreign territory or en-
poyed on the rivers or lakes
of the United States, first from any
fee or charge for enrolling or licensing,
and secondly from enrolment, registry or
license. Under these statutes there will be
liable to enrolment andlicense first, vessels
not propelled by sail or internal motive
power of their own destined for foreign con-
tiguOus territory, and such vessels will pay
the usual fees for lie Sc and enrolment and
for admcasurcmcnt second, vessels not pro
PEELED 10y sail ur internal motive power OF
their own, employed wholly upon the navi
gable waters OF the United States other than
rivers or lakes unless exempted by section
43. S6j of the revised statutes, but no fee can

tons no vessel will be liable 10 enrolment
or license. excepting such rs are
plainly calculated by their build to be per
manently propelled by sails or some internal

customs are required upon receipt of this cir
cular to transmit to the department accurate
reports, setting forth first, the number of
vessels not propelled by sails or other inter
nal motive power, that have been enrolled or
licensed at their respective ports during the
last fiscal year second, the total tonnage of
such vessel and third, the amount of fees
received for simply enrolling and licensing
such vessels
