OPERATORS WARNED
AGAINST MOORlNG

Fisherman and pleasure boat OPP
orators are reminded by Rear Ad-
miral Russell E. Wood, Command
err 5th Coast Guard District, that
it is a violation of Federal law to
moor any craft to Coast Guard aids
to navigation-or in any other
manner impair the operation. OF
such aids.
Mooring boats to buoys is con-
sidered obstruction and interior
ence with aid to navigation; an IL
legal practice as established in Ii
tie 33 Code Federal Regulations;
Subpart No. zoos.
Violation of this section is pun
ishable by fine, not to exceed ST.
500, Imprisonment or both. Pro
visions of the section declare that
one half of such a fine shall be paid
to the person, or persons, supply
inc information which leads to con-
viction.
Recent inspections by Coast
Guard vessels make it apparent
that local fishermen and pleasure
boat operators have been mooring
their craft to navigation buoys in
violation of the section.
Vessels illegally moored to aids
to navigation may easily obstruct
the view or otherwise interfere
with the usefulness of the aid.
Buoys may become unmoored or
even damaged by craft fastened to
chem.
Aside from the unlawful aspects
of mooring to buoys there is the
factor of personal safety to be
considered, advised Admiral Wood
Buoys move about with the water
and could easily collide uneXpect-
eddy with craft moored to them,
infiicting severe damage, perhaps
even sinking such vessels.

BRIDGE
Continued from Page One

part of some of their legislators
whose help they needed. 1t appear
ed that the legislators were more
interested in the toll bridge COM
pany than in the needs of the peo-
pie. There was no record of any
thing they had done about getting
the state to build a bridge, but
there was record of their acquies-
sence in behalf of the toll bridge
company, as witness the legisla-
ton passed in 1851, and in 1949,
which has just been thrown out of
court.
While the people of this section
feel that it is discrimination for
this particular area of thu state to
have to put up with tolls, they had
surrendered to the view that it
were better to pay tolls than to
have no bridges at all. They had
signifed their willingness to ac-
cept state owned toll bridges.
Meanwhile, since declaring them
selves as willing to endure toll
bridges, a, new angle to the situa-
ton has arisen. The development
of the Cape Hatteras Seashore
Park which is now in process gives
rise to the prediction that an enor-
nous volume of traffic, such as
cannot be easily visualized at the
present time, will head toward our
coast. 1t is considered to be bad ad-
vertising should we have to say,
and should it be necessary, to in
form the public throughout the
nation, that the central gateway
to this park will be through toll
bridges. 1t would be a terrific blow
to the people of Hyde, Dare, Tyr
rell, Washington, Martin and Beau
fort Counties through which coun-
ties all the seashore bound traffic
converges from Highways Ga and
