NEW MOTOR BOAT RULES.
Passengers Better Protected by Com
merce and Labor Regulations.

Passengers on motor boats are to be
better protected the coming season by the
new motor boat regulations issued yes
terday by the Department of Commerce
and Labor. Life preservers filled with
granulated cork or other loose granu-
lated material and pneumatic life pre-
servers and cushions are to be done away
with. for none such will be approved
Where passengers are taken for hire life
preservers stamped by the steamboat in
spectors must be carried, and the depart
ment also recommends their use in other
cases, although such use is not made
obligatory
The regulations for eXtinguishing burn
ing gasoline remain practically the same
but provision is made for carrying a num-
Der of tested appliances to insure safety.
Besides extinguishers and suitable chem
icals, it is recommended that salt or sand
in sufficient quantities, preferably mixed
in available pals or boxes, be carried by
the motor boats.
1t is declared that since the law of 40
was passed loss of life from fires or ex-
plosions has almost ceased. while the
number of drownings which could be pre-
vented by. proper life preservers has di-
mipished. The fatalities now, 1t is said.
result usually from the capsizing of the
boats.
No change is made in the regulations
for lights, whistles, bells and sound sig
mails.
