arrangements should be made to have
harbor officials and not shipowners

reason that shipowners might refuse to
give heed to warnings not coming from

Though the rules were not material

to Harbormaster Foster for modification
of the clause regulating the towing, of
vessels. The rule would require all sail

at their side when abreast of the Ho-

Harbormaster Fosters purpose in
