Boating Bill
Hits on Snag
Set by Barden
The controversial safety boat bill,
introduced by North Carolina Rep.
Herbert Booncr, has been sent
back to the Merchant Marine Com
mittee, which Bonner heads. Gra
ham A. Barden, New Bern, is one
at the chief opponents of the bill in
?he House of Repreae natives.
Representative Bonner was
forced to call the bill back to com
mittee because of the failure to
print in the report on the bill the
part of existing law Bonner's bill
would change.
Barden has been feuding with
Bonner and his committee over
provisions in the small boat bill
since it was before the House Rules
Committee, and before.
Among other things, the New
Bern legislator contends the bill
presumes to tell state legislators
exactly the type of a boat law they
shaH pass.
'?The thing I resent," he said
after the bill had been sent back to
committee, "is it will let the fed
eral government stick its nose in
state matters. Talk about preemp
tion!"
The step Bonner was lorced to
take means that he will have to
start from scratch in getting the
bill before the House. A second
appearance before the rules com
mittee is now necessary.
"This technicality will delay the
bill, and possibly jeopardize its be
coming law this session, although
I hope not," Bonner said after the
House action.
"My fear is that the failure to
pass the bill will jeopardize the
safety of people enjoying outdoor
water sports, and perhaps cost
some lives."
One of the bill's major provisions
is aimed at making It possible to
identify through registered num
bers power boats that create swells
and threaten to turn over smaller
boats.
Suspends Licenses
The state driver license division
has suspended the licenses of three
county drivers. They are Tony W.
Gray, Atlantic, speeding over 70;
Richard L. Hartness, Morehead
City, by o.Jer oi the court; and
Mann A. Pollock Jr., route 1 New
port, habitual violator, the safety
division reports.
We may not be the wealthiest
county In the state, but we can be
the cleanest. Don't throw trash out
car windows.
