source of information about
boating accidents. Although
many aspects of the casualty
reporting prescribed in the re-
gulations will expand on several
of the provisions of the for-
mer casualty reporting system.
For example, the existing re-
gulations require that an acci-
dent be reported when a per-
son is dlabled for a period in
excess of 72 hours, while the
new regulations require a writ-
ten report when a person is
incapacitated for more than 24
hours.
Another Important provision
of the new regulations requires
the Immediate notification to the
nearest reporting authority of
boating accidents which result
in the death or disappearance
of any person on board.
The new regulations which
are based on a Notice of Pro-
posed Rulemaking published in
the Federal Register earlier
this year, may be found in the
Federal Register, Volume 37,
number 196, Part n. Copies
of the Federal Register may be

Editor, The Progress
We would like to thank Mrs.
Batty Watson for understanding
the motive for us writing our
letter to the Editor about
Prairie View Cemetery. When
we bought seven grave spaces
at Prairie View Cemetery the re
was no mention of maintenance
dues, which we would have been
more than glad to have paid.
But since then we have had
cement put over and around
property. There is a fine of
up to $200.
The ordinance resulted when
a large number of sturdy oaks,
some as much as 250 years
old, were uprooted where land
was bulldozed for a road ihto
a new subdivision. Public re-
sponse was one of dismay.
There were those who sug-
gested that the location of trees
should be designated on plats
and controls be established on
private property. Ingleside
Mayor Jim Bownds felt the city
council did not have the right
to exert control except on pub-
licly owned property. With the
new ordinance, he hopes the city
can negotiate for alternate
right-of-way across private
property to bypass a tree, or
encircle it where a road must
be built.
Trees are important assets
in the Coastal Bend. T Some
expanses of land stretch out
monotonously without the grace
ofmeanderlng trunks and clus-
tered leaves to cast a design
of shadows. But our land is
not devoid of such beauty.

nut .... Don’t sit under the

have now inspired a city ord-

The Ingleside city council
passed an ordinance making it
unlawful to cut, burn, pull up
or in any way injure a tree in
public right-of-way or on public
stake Friday night, the

From Ingleside to Aransas
Pass and Rockport, live oaks
turn and twist, their direction
dictated by prevailing winds.
These trees are financial as
well as aesthetic assets. Home-
sites increase in value with
the spread of their trees. Along
the Nueces River, near Geroge
West, down around Old San
Patricio, moss beards the bran-
ches that grow thick enough to
repulse the semi-tropical sun
and reserve darkened, cool
midsummer hideaways.
Through Live Oak, Bee, and
Karnes Counties,treesdigtheir
roots into foothills and roll
with them symmetrically.
The memory that remains
most vivid of those hideous days
after Hurricane Celia is of
die torn, denuded trees.
Remember them the next
spring? You turned your eyes
away, as sometime you must
from a deformity. We knew
then how much die trees mat-
tered.
If you view scenery math-
matically, the value of trees
may be considered in terms of
the length of time It takes them
to mature. Work of centuries
is wasted in heedless destruct-
ion, immutable after the bull-
dozer has passed.
The Ingleside ordinance is
only the third in the state,
following the lead of Dallas
and Houston, it won’t save
every tree. Construction in a
rapidly growing area will de-
vour space. But the ordin-
ance will give time for due
consideration which might pro-
duce an alternative to destruct-
ion; an alternative that leaves
room for both man and some-
thing from which to-hang his
hammock.
