tion, but I'm view of the danger Of life
involved in such hiring by persons who
have not attained the age of discretion;
in my opinion. an effort should be made
by the public authorities to protect them
by regulation.
Legislation has been usually resorted

drivers of automobiles. though here the
commissioners have passed police regu-
lations on the subject.
Il recommend that this case be re-
ferred TO the wharf committee to draft
