LAW DISCRIMINATES
AGAINST STEAMBOATS,
REGULATION OF GASOLINE
BOATS WILL BE RECON-
MENDED-sHouLD PAY u
cENsE LIKE OTHER BOATS.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
says:
To take up the fight of the local
inspectors against unlicensed gaso'
line boats will probably be the ad-
vice in the report to be made by Ad-
mral Symonds, the steamboat in
specting commissioner, who is at
present visiting in these waters. Adj
mral Symonds, in company with
Capt. II. c. Waltz, one of the local
inspectors, left yesterday for Arkan-
sas City He will return to this city
within the next few days.
Considering the fact that Admiral
Symonds was preceded in his inspec
ton by the late Admiral John II.
Bartlett, who died before completing
his report the visit of the present
inspector is fraught with an almost
pathetic interest. Admiral Bartlett
arrived in this city shortly after the
Gen. Slocum disaster in the New
York harhor. He was one of the
three commissioners appointed by
President Roosevelt to make an in
spection of all vessels plying in the
lakes and rivers Of this country.
In this city Admiral Bartlett Great
ed some notice by the manner in
which he conducted his inspections.
He left this city and a few days af-
terward his death was reported The
report which he intended to make on
conditions along the Mississippi was
never made. "A few days ago Admiral
Symonds arrived in the city, and he,
too, has been inspecting the boats at
the local wharf. tr. 81
From those with whom he has talk
ed II is learned that 1t is the purpose
of Admiral Symonds TO take up the
fight against gasoline boats of under
fifteen tons, which are not required
to have licensed pilots and engineers
This fact has always been contended
TO be an unjust discrimination against
boats which are propelled by seam
The steamboat inspection statutes
include all boats operated by steam
in that class, which are compelled to
use licensed pilots and engineers
Gasoline boats that are under fifteen
tons are allowed TO go free.
1t is very likely that a change in
the present statutes will be recon
mcnded. The striking out OF the WORD
steam" in the statutes viii cover the
case and include gasoline craft in the
same category as other boats. Admir-
al Symonds had gone over the lakes
and has found that these gasoline
boats are so constructed with power
full machinery that they are just in
side of the required tonnage, and tina
they do work which requires steam
vessels of a heavier tonnage to per
FORM
Among other changes which ma,
L. recommended is the diyorcemen
of the inspection statutes as they ar
ply to lake, ocean and inland rivers
All of these are taken together vi
der the present regulations, and tn
same statutes apply to all. Many 0
the regulations could not possibly b
enforced on the inland waters, an
this has brought up the question o
dividing the three great modes o
traffic by water Admiral Symond
will make a thorough study of condf
tions on the Mississippi, and it is like
ly that he will propose other change
to the board of supervising inspec
ors, which is now in session at Wasl
iDgton.
