MAY CHANGE REGULATIONS.
New Rules for York Spit Channel
Traffic Probable.

AS a result Of the hearing before Lieut.
Col. w. c. Langfitt. chief of engineers
I'm charge of the channels of Chesapeake
bay and its tributaries. regarding the
revocation of the regulations now govern
ing the York Spit channel in lower Chesa-
peake bay, it is probable that changes
will be made in them that will please
the managers of steaSaboat lines run
ming between Norfolk and Old Point to
Cape Charles and eastern sEsre points
better than the existing regulations.
The hearing was held in the custom
house at Baltimore and was attended by
representatives of the steamboat lines,
pilot associations and others. The pres
ent regulations do not allow vessels NOV
ing over the bay to cross the new channel,
and 1t was claimed that as they stood
they worked hardship on the steam
boat lines employed in cross-bay traffic
The conference resulted in a decision to
submit to the Secretary of the Treasury
an amendment to the regulations, which
was submitted by representatives of the
New York. Philadelphia and Norfolk
Railroad Company. and which reads as
follows:
Vessels or other water craft plying
between Norfolk, Newport News, Old
Point Comfort and points on the eastern
side Of the Chesapeake shall be allow ed
TO cross York SPIT channel. provided
however. that steamers passing up or
down the bay shall have the right of
way and all vessels or water craft, while
crossing the channel shall always keep
out of the way of all steamers so navi-
eating the channel"
1t is stated that the regulations object
ed to were brought about through the
lighthouse authorities result of dam
age to number of the gas buoys which
mark both sides of the channel. 1t Is
also claimed that deep draft steamers us
ing the channel were frequently in danger
of collision with craft crossing the water
way at right angles.
