No Relaxation in Regulations
Regarding ''Boatage."
SAFETY OF TRAVEL BY SEA
Gen. Uhler, Supervising Inspector
General, Calls Attention to Re-,
quirements of June 20.

Gen. George Uhler, supervising inspec-
tor general of the steamboat inspection
service. said today that the modified reg
ulations recently issued concerning
"boatage,' or 1ife-saving equipment, on
passenger-carrying steamships do not in
any sense relax the requirements of the
regula tons promulgated June %. Those
regulations, said Gen. Uhler, recognizing
the difficulties that would be encountered
by the ship owners in providing the nee
essary equipment of lifeboats and life
RATS, allowed the latter until July i.
ment. and. if honest effort were being
made to secure it. until September 80 for
the remaining 30 per cent.
Warning to Inspectors.
They were advised, however, he said,
that there must be no relaxation in their
efforts to provide the full equipment. at
the earliest practicable date, and local
inspectors were warned to keep a close
lookout and to take such action at once
as in their judgment was necessary to
protect the sea-travelng public if ship
owners were not really endeavoring to
provide the necessary equipment.
The recently modified regulations, he
said, did not let down the bars in this
particular On the contrary, If ship own
ers had provided 30 per cent of their
equipment July l and were still sim
cerey endeavoring to get the remainder
they would be allowed until September
80 to complete their equipment.
Traffic Suspension as Penalty.
But those who had not the first half re-
quired July / were required to suspend
traffic until the requirements of the regu-
lations are compiled with.
The regulation applies to steamers on
the great lakes as well as to all vessels
on the Atlantic or its bays and sounds
