Third in a Series:
Boating Growth
Brings Problems
YANCEY NEWS
By Mrs. Harrison Wilson
(EDITOR'S NOTE
the third articilo in a series of
three explaining the new Water
Safety Act.)
By J. O. MUSICK
General Manager
Texas Safety Association
Part III
The phenomenal growth of in-
terest in motorboating and other
water sports, during the past few
years, has brought about a con-
centration of statewide problems
that were, heretofore, little more
than a nuisance with only occa-
sional dire results.
Today, however, the leading
problem has been one of how to
foster accident prevention with
i mnimum of regulations and a
maximum of protection and free-
dom for all water sport enthus-
iasts, i.e., fishermen, swimmers,
skiers and just plain pleasure
craft operators.
Texas’ new Water Safety Act
is the first statewide attempt to
jromote safety in water sports
sy broad legislative means
In brief, the Water Safety Act
lits at the problem in three gen-
eral ways: By specifying mini-
mum safety equipment and oper-
ation (Part I); Providing penal-
ties for unsafe operation, or non-
compliance with the Act, and a
means of enforcement (Part II);
Finally, by making provisions for
boat identification through a num-
bering.
A condensed explanation of this
system is the duty of Part III.
On Aug. 11, the Texas Highway
Department will begin adminis-
tering all provisions of the act.
However, boat owners have a
March 31, 1960, deadline to make
application for a Certificate of
Numbers (registration). The
leadline for dealers and manu-
facturers is April 1, 1960, after
which time each boat manufac-
tured and sold must be complete
with numbers.
The act requires that the num-
ber painted upon or attached to
the hull be of block characteris-
tics in good proportion, not less
than 3 inches in height, and read
from left to right. The number
Thii is Highway Department and be ac-
companied with the proper fee.
Upon receipt of the application,
the department will maintain a
record and issue him a Certifi-
cate of Number stating the num-
ber awarded the motorboat and
name and address of the owner.
A person who buys a motor-
boat that has been previously reg-
istered under this act, must make
application to the department for
a transfer of Certificate of Num-
ber. The application must be ac-
companied by proof of evidence
of proof of ownership, name, ad-
dress and $1. transfer fee. Own-
ers must also notify the. depart-
ment of any change in address.
DEALERS - MANUFACTURERS
All new boats manufactured for
sale in Texas after April 1, 1960,
must carry a, manufacturer’s ser-
ial number stamped on or lami-
nated into the structure of a boat
before the owner can obtain a
Certificate of Number.
The act makes special provi-
sions for dealers and manufac
tueers in the use of boats for
demonstration purposes and for
selling boats with a temporary
facsimile Certificate of Number.
The 3-year fee for a dealer or
manufacturer is $25.
EXCESS FUNDS
Sportsmen will be pleased to
learn that excess funds accrued
from boat registration fees, above
administrative costs, must be
used for purchasing access ways
to public waters, boat ramps and
for their maintenance.
