Of the Sound have recently received or.
ders 70 rigidly enforce the navigation
laws in regard 70 the carrying Of lights
on vessels. and they have caused almost
4 panic among steamboatmen by re-
porting q number Of violations. For
several years the law in this respect
has not been rigidly enforced, and
steAmbostmen. from motives Of econo.
my. have neglected 70 provide the
proper lightA The consequence is that
nearly every boat On Puget sound was
found subject TO fine in some particu-
lar. The revenue launch Scout has
bcen making careful inspection, and
has reported violations which subject
the owners Of bosts to zines which sg-
gregate several thousand dollars.
The navigation laws are very strict
In regard TO onenses Of this kind. They
require officers Of the revenue marine
TO board and inspect any vessel, from q
rowb"at to q steamer. and TO report to
the collector Of customs Of the district
onenses against any Of the navigation
laws. with the fine to be imposed. The
collector Is then ordered to notify own.
ers that they must pay the fine in cash
within ten days, or the vessel will be
siesed and sold to cover it: rowboats
are subject to instant seizure. There
ID no appeal from the action Of the col.
lector. except 70 the chief Of the bu.

There were thousands on thousands Of
