The Government Cannot Regulate
the PASSENGER Traffic.


Captain John Birmingham, Supe rvising
Inspector of Steam Vessels. who has been
laboring so faith July to prevent the over
loading of passenger steamers and ferry
boats, has met with an obstacle in regula-
ing the latter class of steamers.

General James A. Dumont. Supervising
pector-General OF Steam Vessels at
Washington. asking what, If any, anthor-
ity he has to prevent the overcrowding Of
ferry-boatS equipped under rule 7.
General Dumont replied yesterday that
Captain Bermingham has no authority to
interfere, as the ferry boats are exempt
from the provisions of section 4464 of the
Revised Statutes.
Section Z, referred to, says: "All ferry
boats carrying passengers shall be
equipped as passenger steamers to such an
extent as in the opinion of the inspector
shall in each case be deemed just and
proper in accordance with the average
number of passengers carried each trip"
Section AGA reads as follows: THE in
spectors shall state in every certificate of
inspection granted to steamers carrying
passengers, other than ferry-boats, the
number of passengers of each class that
any steamer has accommodations for and
can carry with prudence and SAT ety.
Now. you see," said Captain Berming-
ham, that l have n o power to say to the
owners of the ferry-boats that they must
only carry a certain number of passen-
gers.
al can compel them to carry life-pre-
servers sufficient for their average number
of passengers. can compel the machinery
of the boats to be in good order, but so far
as my authority goes the ferry-boats can
carry as many passengers as they please.
81 have instructed all passenger
steamers, other than ferries, to furnish me
with a statement of the number of passen-
gers they can and are carrying and in a
few days l will he prepared with the in
formation required in order to regulate
their traffic. That class of steamers will
be required to obey the law to the letter."
