Eighteen fi.hing and boating fac-
ilities already have been reported1
this year. The total as compiled
by the State Board of Health for
the entire year of 1954 was only
forty-four' victims involving small
boats.
The Executive Secretary said
most of the fatalities in this year's
unprecedented toll are from boats
overturning principally from pow-
er causes or from rough water.
The forty-four small boat victims
in 1954 were in addition to the
397 persons who drowned from
all other causes in Texas. This
was an increase of forty-two over
the 1953 casualty figure.
The 1955 death rate has become
so alarming that some remedial
steps already have been advocated.
The Fort Worth United States
Engineers office announced that
small craft warnings have been in-
stalled at Garza-Little Elm Res
ervoir. Red triangular pennants
will he flown when winds higher
than twenty-five miles per hour are
forecast.
The City of Austin has tenta-
tively approved a $2.50 tax per
boat for Lake Austin. The revenue
would finance increased patrol pro-
tection. Houston city authorities
become officially concerned over
the dangers in Lake Houston as
reflected by fatalities. And the
Corpus Christi Caller-Times news-
paper editorially advocated de- j
finite safety measures after the
second drowning this year in Lake
Corpus Christi. Fifty persons have:
drowned in this lake in the last 25
years, the newspaper reported.
The Executive Secretary said
