Boating. 



Where there are boating facilities, as there are in many of the large 

 parks, the question of regulating the use of boats is an important one. The 

 commissioners of Lincoln Park, Chicago, in General Ordinances for 1926, have 

 issued the following instructions regarding the use of boats: 



No person shall (a) bring any boat, yacht, float, raft 

 or other water craft into or upon any of the waters 

 under the control of the commissioners, tie to or in any 

 way attach the same to any of the docks, piers, buoys 

 or other moorings or to anchor in any of the waters 

 under the control of the commissioners, without having 

 first obtained a permit therefor and paying the fee 

 required for such permit under the rules governing the 

 use of the lagoons and harbors under the control of the 

 commissioners, (b) Own, operate or control any boat, 

 yacht, float, raft or other water craft, rent or let the 

 same for hire upon, or for use upon, any of the waters 

 under the control of the commissioners, (c) Keep in 

 his possession any boat belonging to the commissioners 

 for a longer time than he has paid for its use. (d} Rent 

 a boat from the commissioners, leave the same at any 

 place other than the landing or boathouse from which 

 it was obtained, nor shall any person in any boat upon 

 any of the waters under the control of the commissioners 

 rock such boat or stand therein, (i) Rent a boat, allow 

 more persons to enter such boat than are specified in 

 the rules posted at the boat landing. (/) The permits 

 provided for in this section may be issued by the general 



superintendent and manager upon the payment of the 

 following fees for the season. For boats:

 (g) Any permit issued under the provisions of this 

 section may be evoked at any time by the general

 rules governing the use of yacht harbors or other waters 

 under the control of the commissioners. (A) Any person 

 violating any clause of provision of this section shall be 

 subject to a fine of not less than five dollars ($5.00),

years of age, unaccompanied by at least one adult, will

 away from the landing, and must not land except at 

 the regular landing places, nor rock the boat.
