said he 'as it always has been, and it would now
be wise TO drive the Automobile Club from any

General James S C1arkson, Surveyor of the Port
of New York and Deputy Surveyor Smith urged
those present to use their influence individuals
and as a body 10 enforce the existing navigation
laws motor boats and to assist the government
in framing laws that would not only protect
the lives of those who travelled in small craft but
would prevent on large boats a repetition of the
Slccum dsaster-something that General Clarkson
said quite likely to happen while the present
laws, which framed back in 1878, existed.
Mr.. Smythe called attention to at least twenty
five general violations of the present laws that he
and his assistants had been trying to stop in the
summers of 1907 and 1898. There should be placed
before the next Congress- he said, now laws or
amendments to the present ones that would compel
the person in charge of yacht or motor boat TO
obtain license by passing an examination show
ing familiarity with the rules OF the road, pilot
rules regarding whistle signals and lights. This
type of boat whether for pleasure or hire. he de-
clared must have lamps board ready to light
after sunset. or scorer if needed. There must be
a life belt for every person board and suitable
whistle, fog horn and bell. The carrying capacity
of the boat must also be limited to its seating ca
pacity. Second hand engines must be officially in
spected before being installed in boats, and the
noise must be stopped by mufffing the exhauSts
on many yachts, he said. the name is so small
that It cannot be seen. He advocated uniform size
and color of lettering.
