pounds nor more than twenty pounds; and any
such boatman who shall demand more than the
proper fare, or who shall, without sufficient reason,
refuse or neglect to employ his boat when required,
shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding five
pounds.
-
Any licensed master or waterman lending his
license to any other person, shall be liable to a
penalty of forty shillings. -
But any licensed master or waterman being
in charge of any boat, who by sickness may be prevented from plying, may, on depositing with the
Harbour Master a certificate from a duly qualified
medical practitioner to that effect, together with
his license, be permitted to nominate a substitute,
and should the Harbour Master be satisfied of the
efficiency of the said substitute, he may issue a
certificate authorizing him to serve in the place of
the licensed person who is disabled by sickness for
a period not exceeding one month, and such certificate may from time to time be renewed during the
illness of the said licensed boatman so long as his
license shall be so deposited with the Harbour
Master. -
Every vessel or boat used for the purpose of
carrying passengers or cargo for hire in any port,
harbour, or river, in the Colony, shall be licensed for
that purpose by the Superintendent of the Province,
in which such vessel or boat is to ply; and such
license being granted on the certificate of the
inspecting officers, as hereinafter provided, shall be
in force till the first of July next ensuing; and a
certificate of license shall be given to the owner of
the vessel or boat, and must at all times be produced
for inspection when demanded by the Harbour
Master or his deputy; and the name and number
of the boat for which the certificate of license is
issued, and the name of the owner, and the quantity
of cargo or number of passengers which the vessel or
boat is licensed to carry, shall be stated in the
certificate, and shall be also legibly painted on some
conspicuous part of the boat; and the owner of any
vessel or boat which shall be used for carrying
passengers or cargo for hire, who shall not comply
with the above regulation shall for every offence be
liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds. -
Before a license is granted for any vessel or
boat, as provided in the last preceding clause of
these regulations, she must be inspected by two or
more competent persons appointed by the Superintendent, who will, on approval, grant a certificate as
to her dimensions and the quantity of cargo, or the
number of passengers she may be permitted to carry,
and such certificate must be produced on application
for a license. -
The Harbour Master or any person authorised
by him may at any time inspect any cargo or other
boat, and if found to be not fully equipped with
proper gear, and not in a seaworthy condition, or if
found to be overloaded, the license of said boat may
be cancelled. -
Each boat which is licensed to carry passengers
shall carry twenty pounds of luggage (if required)
with every passenger, without extra charge, and the
sum to be paid for all luggage beyond the weight
above stated, shall be at the rate of one passenger
fare for every one hundred and fifty pounds weight,
but for every one hundred and fifty pounds weight
of luggage so carried one passenger must be deducted
from the number which such boat is licensed to carry. -
The fares which licensed watermen will be
allowed to charge will be fixed by the Superintendent
of each Province for the several ports therein. -
In those ports in which night watermen are
required all regulations concerning them will be made
by the Superintendent as aforesaid. -
In those ports in which “watermen’s houses”
are provided they shall be set apart solely for the
use of licensed watermen, and no other person will
be permitted to occupy them. Should any person
persist in doing so, the watermen on duty shall report the same to the police, who will cause such
intruders to be removed, and any person persisting
in returning to such “watermen’s houses,” after
being warned by the police, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding forty shillings.
