VESSELS GOING TO SEA
: MUST HAVE u|FEB0ATS
PROVISION for All Aboard Required
=. in Bill Before the
House.

-Iifeboats enough for all aboard-or
YOU can't put to sea-" is the ultimatum
to ocean steamers as laid down in the
Alexander bill. reported to the House
late last night. The measure is a sub
stttute for the La Toilette seaman's
bill which passed the Senate, and con-
forms exactly to the recommendations
Of the London convention on safety at
sea, which was called as the result of
the Titanic disaster.
While the 100 per cent lifeboat fea-
ture Of the bill is of most interest, the
bill is an extremely long one, and COW
ers every phase of sea safety possible
at this time in a single piece Of legis-
Iation.
Provisions of the Bill.
1t specifies the number of able sea-
men TO be carried In a crew, the num-
Der of passengers allowed in various
kinds of lfeboats. establishes the new
grade of 'certifcated hfeboat men,"
makes no rules for requirements for
able seamen. guards seamen from the
crooked practices of employment
agents and sailors boarding houses"
which in the past have shanghaiied and
f,obbed sailors and seamen. regardless
VI idW anu justice, makes snip owners
provide sanitary and commodious
quarters for the crew, with baths. and
specifies the number of hours, af1oat or
ashore. that seamen may work
The old requirements for able seamen
were getting a little Anticipated for
modern sea service. as the handling of
ropes and the ordinary old-time deck
service are of little use to the husky
hlue-shirted citizen who now enbarks
aboard a trap for the South American
trip.
Able Seaman Defined.
Consequently, as able seamen are
getting scarce under the old require
ments. the Alexander bill specifies that
three years of sea service" shall make
a man an able seaman. and on the lakes
two years of service aboard the big
ships shall constitute apprenticeship.
For excursion steamers lifeboats
carrying from so per cent to 70 per
cent Of passenger capacity in the rush
season must be carried. The commit
toe reports that excursion steamers are
rarely far from shore and that it
would be impossible for them to carry
ZOE per cent capacity In lifeboats in
the months from May to September.

But Will Undertake Work
Without Delay.

Heights Traction Railway Company,
which furnishes service to Randle
Highlands; the Washington Interurban.

walt for it to be done by the corps of
valuation experts now engaged in as
eertaining the physical worth OF prop
critics owned by some Of the larger
public service corporations

latter task and the utilities board
hopes by that time to have the smaller

it may proceed at once to a considera-
ton Of rate questions related to the

Eddy May Supervise Work.

There is every likelihood that H. c.
Eddy, engineer of the commission, will
be selected to supervise the valuation
of the properties of the three railways
mentioned, though decision in the
matter has not been reached.
J. @. Williams. statistician of the
commission, has made an accounting
investigation of the companies and sub
mitted a report setting forth financial
history OF their operations. -
Plans for the establishment of a val
uation upon the holdings of the Union
Transfer Company also are under con-
sideration by tho board. Mr.. Williams
already having made the usual prelim-
mary accounting investigation. No de-
cision has been reached as to who will
be engaged to conduct the physical
valuation.
To Value Taxicab Companies.
Present indications are the taxicab
companies will be the first corporations
to have their properties officially val
ued by the commission. This work Is
now in progress, and is being directed
by Clayton W. Graf, engaged as an ex-
pert on automobile values. The ac-
counting work was done by Mr.. Will
liams.
It is expected that the commission, as
soon as It has received a complete re-
port on the holdings OF the taxi COM
panies, will Immediately take up the
question Of taxicab rates. This may be
stood to be DESTROYS Of disposing of the
problem before looking into the rates
maintained by other classes of public
