AN 0 RT H E R N NOTEBOOK 1
By BOB DE ARMCND |
Twentieth of a Series
Every session of the United
States Congress—just as every ses
sion of the Alaska Legislature
sees the introduction of a whole
slug of bills that get lost and bur
ied in the shuffle. And that, of
course, is where most of them be
long,
Ik is impossible to say yet whether
H. R. 1762, 82d Congress, is buried
or only lurking behind a corner,
waiting to jump out in passage and
approval.
It is easy to tell that little has
been heard of this bill in Alaska,
because if its contents were known
among the fishing vessel owners,
there would be a tremendous and
sustained roar all the way from
Tree Point to somewhere near
Scotch Cap.
This little measure is titled: “A
Bill for the safety of life and
property by making all commercial
fishing Vessels subject to the rules
and regulations of the United
States Coast Guard Marine In
spection."
The itself is perhaps not
a'i bad us title, because it is
to apply only to commercial iish
ing' vessels of over 15 gross tons.
Unless, of course, it is amended to
include smaller vessels.
The j following is a summary of
the provisions of the bill:
"Every fishing vessel shall be
inspected at least once a'year by
inspectors assigned by the United
States Coast Guard Office in
charge of Marine Inspection or his
representatives.
"Fishing vessels must be hauled
out on a slip or dry dock at least
once a year or oftener if found
necessary. At such drydock examin
ations the inspectors shall careful
ly examine the underwater body,
all underwater fittings, and pro
peller to determine that the same
are in good cindition. The out
board shaft or shafts on all fishing
vessels must be drawn for inspec
tion once every three years, or
oftener if found necessary.
"Every fishing vessel shall be I
equipped with at least two bilge
pumps, one of which may be used
as a fire pump, and of sufficient
capacity that not less than one
hundred cubic inches of water shall
be discharged by each stroke of the
piston.
“Every fishing vessel shall carry
at least two approved ring buoys
with no less than 15 fathoms of
line attached.
“Every fishing vessel shall car
ry a sufficient number of lifeboats
or dories to accomodate at one,
time all persons on board. Such
lifeboats or dories must be at all
times ready for immediate use and
be equipped with emergency ra
tions to last for at least 72 hours,
one lantern showing a white light
or flare-up light, one bailer, one
hatchet, one boathook, and at
least one full set of oars.
“Each fishing vessel must have
the crew’s quarters and mess room
fitted with an alarm bell to be
used in an emergency and it is
to be operated from a switch in
the pilot house and independent of
the shin’s power; also one fully
equipped first-aid kit, a radio, or
other means of communication be
tween ships and shore.
"No fishing vessel shall be nayi
r ^— -~
gated or operated except In charge
of an operator licensed for such
service by the United States Coast
Guard Marine Inspection.
"All fishing vessels which oper
ate oceans more than 12 hours
out of the 24 hours In any one
day must be in charge of a licen
sed master.
"All fishing vessels shall be
equipped with a line carrying gun
and projccticles as prescribed by
the U. S. Coast Guard Marine
Inspection Service General Rules
and Regulations.
"All fishing vessels shall be fitted
with reasonably watertight bulk
heads, one to be forward of the
engine room and one to be aft of
the forecastle.
"No major repairs or alterations
are to he made to the hull or ma
chinery of any fishing vessel with
out the approval of the officer in
charge of the Coast Guard Marine
Inspection Service at the port in
which said repairs or alterations
are to be made.
"For nil new construction of fish
ing vessels, the keels of which are
to be laid not later than 60 days
after the passage of this Act all
plans and specifications must be
approved by tbe Coast Guard Ma
rine Inspection Service, or other
recognized classification society.
"All equipment of fishing vessels
such as hose, axes, oars, rafts, life
preservers, boats, floats, bai rels
and tanks shall be painted or bran
ded with the name of the vessels
upon which they are used.
"Nothing in this Act shall be
deemed to alter the Motor Boat
Regulations of the Motor Boat Act
of 1940.”
There it is, boys. And about the
only thing they seem to have left
out is the regulation requiring
skippers—pardon us—Masters of
fishing vessels to wear a blue uni
form with four stripes on the
sleeves. Maybe that'll come next
year.

The fawns and calf-bearing does

that Pete Wood can identify the
dogs for the game warden.
Very truly yours,
