* * * A * HOUSE BIIL 889 Smooth ^alllna fox lJ-^£,nn±uLvania jDoatmzn Pennsylvania boatmen will be able to use their boats in other states up to po days under the provisions of House Bill 889. This bill proposes to amend the Commonwealth's basic boating law so that it will conform to the Federal boating law, commonly known as the Bonner Act. At the present time Pennsylvania is one of only eight states whose boating laws do not comply with the Federal law. Under the new law, licensing would be changed from motors to hulls. Fees proposed are $3 for motorboats 16 ft. and less, and $5 for motorboats more than 16 ft. in length. Rowboats and sailboats are not included. The bill would also resolve the complicated problem of administration on the tidal waters of the Delaware River. On April 9, the Navigation Commission for the Delaware River and its navigable tributaries approved this bill by adopting the following resolution: "The Navigation Commission for the Delaware River and its Navigable Tributaries hereby goes on record as favoring the provisions set forth in HOUSE BILL, NUM BER 889. It is unanimously agreed by the members of this Commission that the requirements regarding licensing and regulation of pleasure motorboats operating on the Delaware River and its navigable tributaries can best be served by the provisions contained in the above referenced House Bill." The Fish Commission has administered the Pennsylvania boating law since its enactment in 1931. At present the warden staff of the Commission enforces the boating law in conjunction with regular Fish Commission duties. Boatmen and fishermen use the same waters. In fact, 80 per cent or more of Pennsylvania boats are used primarily for fishing. The enforcement of laws and regulations governing boating and fishing by a single agency and one warden force provides economy and efficiency of administration. This bill has the full support of the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs. The Pennsylvania Fish Commission urges the early approval of this bill. This would make it possible for Pennsylvania boatmen and tourists to take advantage of the reciprocity benefits of this measure at the earliest possible date. —ALBERT M. DAY Executive Director Pennsylvania Fish Commission.
