EXIINGUISHERS FOR BURNING
GASOLINE IN MOTOR BOATS
FEDERAL RULE WHICH WILL BE
STRICTLY ENFORCED IN
ALL WATERS.

Under the ruling OF the United
States commissioner Of navigation all
gasoline motor boats must bc
equipped with apparatus for the
prompt cxinguishing Of burning gaso-
line.
This rule applies without regard to
whether the craft may corry gasoline
for fuel or other purposes Evidently
IL represents the literal Interpretation
OF a law designed primarily for gaso-
line driven craft of small size and
steam driven vessels Of more than 65
feet in length.
The law is as follows:
THAT every motorboat and also
every vessel propelled by machinery
ether than by steam, more than C5 feet
IN length, shall carry ready for i'm
mediate use the means of promptly
ana effectually eXtingulshing burning
gasoline"
The term motorboat Is defined In a
federal act to include every vessel pro-
PEELED by machinery and not more
than GO feet in length. except tug
boats and towboats propelled by
steam.
II viii be apparent that the law by
including the word motorboats, pro-
vides that every machinery driven
craft under 65 feet shall be provided
with extinguishers and the commits
sioner has been forced 90 make AM
arbitrary ruling that forces steam
boats under IS feet and not tug boats
TO carry extinguishers for gasoline
flame whether the craft has gasoline
aboard or not.
