SMALL BOAT OWNERS
ASK FOR PROTECTION
Motor Boat Shippers Want
Harbor Commission to Pro-
vide Better Anchorage.

The need of proper facilities for the
accommodation of locally -owned mo
tor boats was discussed today at
meeting OF the Board of Harbor Com
missioners when a committee headed
by William Kirk. from the Wilmington
Motor Boat Club, pointed out TO the
commissioners the lack of anchorage
facilities which has been the cause OF
serious loss 10 the boat owners in this
city.
Stress was laid to the danger of
freshets. The boats tied in the upper
navigahle waters of the Brandywine
and Christiana rivers, IL was stated
were in continual danger. 1t was also
emphasized by the committee that be-
cause of the poor accommodations
hundreds of yachts pass tho city dur
ing the season enroute to southern
ports. 1t was contended by the boat
men that the same reasons that tust,
~ the river front development for
commercial purposes also hold for
pleasure craft OF all kinds. The need
- just as great for proper anchorage
Of the small boats as. for the larger
boats. The cost for necessary improve
ments. 1t was stated, would be rela
lively small in comparison TO the
amount of trade which eventually
would develop.
The Harbor Board will consider the
appeal of the boat- owners and some
action may be taken IN the matte:
prior 10 the summer boat season.
