Power Boat Men to Meet in Chicago

Local Club Represented.

Commodore Gus A. Jencke of the Is
land City Boating association and sew
eral other members of the club will at
tend the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Power Boat association in Chi
cago at the LaSalle hotel April L, in
conjunction with the annual motor
boat show which takes place at the
Coliseum. Commodore Jencke is vice
president of the association. The chief
business before the meeting this year
is to plan a fight on the Humphreys
bill, which is before congress, and
which seeks to require all power boats
to have a licensed engineer, carry
lights, be inspected annually. and, in
fact, come up to all the requirements
of a regular steamboat. This legisla-
ton is admittedly so unjust that the
power boat men feel that they will
have the support of everybody inter
ested in the sport in preventing the
measures becoming laws.
