Hal Gould and family, return

to Florida. They had been in
Alaska too long to appreciate
the beauties of the flea-bitten,
reptile-in tested, insect-pestered

and the west coast of Prince of
Wales Island in particular

CHANGES IN MOTOR
BOAT REGULATIONS
Two important changes have
been made in steamboat regu
lations by the executive com
mittee of supervising inspec
tors, with the approval of Sec
retory of Commerce William
G Redfield. In the future mot
or boats of fifty tons and un
der will be required to carry
lifelvoat equipment, when they
navigate by daylight only, and
when equipped with air tanks
that will keep the vessel afloat
with a full equipment of pas
sengers aboard.
The second amendment has
to do with ratings on license
applications, the rules being
changed so that motor boat ex
perience will count equally
with experience on a steam
yacht.
