The American Association of Masters
and Pilots of Steam Vessels Have
Important Matters to Consider
During Their Present Session in
Notwithstanding to Re-examinc
After Five Years for Renewal of
Licenses to BE Considered.
There is important business before
the American Association of Masters and
Pilots of Steam Vessels which is now in
session at Washington. The rule adopted
by the Board of Supervising Inspectors
for a re-examinatlon of licenses after a
five years license expires will receive
their earnest attention and it is to be
hoped that the Board of Supervising In
spectors will rescind this rule which will
affect many good masters, mates and
Pilots who cannot pass the examination
for the reason of a lack of education in
their early years, but who are to-day
among our ablest masters, mates and
pilots on inland waters
Congress will be asked to pass a law
prohibiting the towing of log RATS to the
Pacific coast from Puget Sound ports to
San Francisco, Cal, for the reason that
thsse RATS are menace to life and prop
erty on the high seas. Congress will also
be asked to appropriate funds to provide
a marine hospital in Buffalo, N. Y. All
the other principal lake ports have marine
hospitals, while Buffalo, the second larg
est port on the lakes, has none. 1t is alb
solutely necessary that a hospital should
be established there. The smoke nuisance
in New York harbor, especially in the Kill
Won Kull, has become serious menace
to navigation, and Congress will be asked
to pass a law to prohibit the escape of
heavy smoke from the factories and
works in that vicinity. There will be other
business coming before the Grand Harbor,
and the present session bids fair to be
one of the most important ever held.
