Dear Mr. Hurley=

Res Our File No. AW "tio Own
Due to the expanded interest in boating particularly on the
Mississippi River, it has become necessary to extend the control
and man -power of the Police Harbor Patrol. Our interest is to
control this water traffic within the city of St. Paul for the
safety of our citizens who are engaged in this pastime. Further,
we wish to be prepared for any emergency or water rescue operation,
As our budget does not include funds for necessary Harbor
Patrol equipment at this time, we have been assured by the
following companies the loan and use of their equipment, free of
charge, to be used in the control and patrolling of river traffic
in our area. 1
The Aluma Craft Boat Company will furnish the Police
Department with an 18 foot aluminum boat; The Scott - Atwater
Manufacturing Company will furnish a 40 H.P. outboard motor; and
the C & F Machine Works of St.`Paul will furnish a suitable trailer
fitted for this boat.
t
It is agreed by these three companies that they will assume
only the liability of wear fromthe use of this equipment by the
Police Department. Any damage to this equipment due to accident,
or property damage caused by this equipment, will be assumed by
the City of St. Paul,
Mr. Marshalli F. Hurley,
Corporation Counsel,
April 15, 1958,
Page. two
It is further agreed that this equipment will be used exclusively
by the St. Paul Police Harbor Patrol on official police duty from
April 5, 1958, until October l5, 1958, at which time this property,
will' be returned to the respective owners.
-It is re esteU7hat we receive an opinion as to the legality
of the acceptance, use, and liability of this equipment.
As we have no known water craft equipment and operation safety
ordinance, we have been advised by Mr. Arthur Kruse, Rear Commodore
of the local Coast Guard Auxiliary, that such a safety ordinance
can be enacted by the City of St. Paul in co- ordination with existing
federal regulations affecting water craft equipment, and operation
on navigable waters within the St. Paul city limits.
It is further requested that we receive an opinion concerning
a proposed water - safety enforcement ordinance.
Attached is a copy of a letter recently received from F. P.
Vetterick, Commander, U.S. Coast Guard, St. Louls, Missouri, who was
misinformed and believes St. Paul already has enacted a water -
safety ordinance.
Also attached is a clipping from an editorial in the St. Paul
Dispatch of April 10, 1958.
We have installed two signs, one at the Harriet Island boat
ramp, and one at Hidden Falls boat ramp. Both signs explain
general rules of safety concerning equipment and operation of boats.
Photos of the sign, boat, motor, and trailer are enclosed.
Yours very truly,
