D. C., SATURDAY BILL T0 RESORT SHIPS |Senate Passes Measure Halt- ing Traffic Outside Three- Mile Limit. | By the Associated Press. The Senate yesterday passed a bill to prevent boats from CarTying passengers to ships outside the three-mile limit, engaged in practices forbidden by this country’s laws. The measure is aimed at resort ships reported to operate off the coast in different sections of the country. N ‘The bill now goes to the House. The Bureau of Navigation, in recom- mending the bill, said the legislation was necessary to break up the practice. “As early as 1926," the bureau said, “it was proposed to anchor barges off the coast near San Francisco, such barges to be used for ‘fishing, recrea- tion and pleasure.’ “Passengers were carried to and from | these anchored barges in small motor ! vessels. Similar conditions later de- veloped at Los Angeles and off the Florida coast. The reports in the Bu- reau of Navigation show that gambling and other practices are extensively in- dulged in on these vessels.” The bureau said that as the barges are permanently anchored they do not come wthin the provisions of the navi- Sation :lws ,Pd 1t s claimed that the essels carrying the passengers { back and forth do 8o without comv'en"- sation and so also escape regulation. The bill passed by the Senate would make it impossible for a vessel to carry passengers from the shore of this coun- try to a vessel on the high seas with- out a permit, and authorizes the Sec- retary of Commerce to refuse such s permit if he finds that the boats are operated to carry passengers to or from a stationary anchored vessel “engaged in any business or occupation prohibited by law at the place of landing by such small vessels.
