1. On April 18, 1919, the Department prescribed special regulations to govern the draw in the swing bridge of the Pere Marquette Railway across Black River at Port Huron, Michigan.
2. As this swing bridge interfered with navigation, the Department ordered its alteration and it was subsequently replaced by a single leaf bascule bridge with a m inim um hori zontal clearance normal to the axis of the stream o f 100 feet, which can be promptly opened to afford passage of vessels.
There is no longer any necessity for the regulations ap proved in 1919, and I recommend, therefore, that they be revoked.

Sec. 5. That it shall be the duty of all persons owning, operat ing, and tending the drawbridges now built, or which may here after be built across the navigable rivers and other waters of the United States, to open, or cause to be opened, the draws of such bridges under such rules and regulations as in the opinion o f the Secretary of War the public interests require to govern the open ing of drawbridges for the passage o f vessels and other water crafts, and such rules and regulations, when so made and published, shall have the force of law. Every such person who shall willfully fail or refuse to open, or cause to be opened, the draw of any such bridge for the passage of a boat or boats, or who shall unreasonably delay the opening of said draw after reasonable signal shall have been given, as provided in such regulations, shall be deemed guilty o f a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not more than two thousand dollars nor less than one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment in the case o f a natural person for not exceeding one year, or by both such fine and im
prisonment, in the discretion of the court: Provided, That the proper action to enforce the provisions of this section may be com menced before any commissioner, Judge, or court of the United States, and such commissioner, Judge, or court hail proceed in respect thereto as authorized by law in case of crimes against the United States: Provided further, That whenever, in the opinion of the Secretary o f War, the public interests require it, he may make rules and regulations to govern the opening o f drawbridges for the passage of vessels and other water crafts, and such rules and regulations, when so made and published, shall have the force of law, and any violation thereof shall be punished as hereinbefore provided.

In pursuance of the foregoing law, the following regulations are prescribed to govern the operation of the drawbridge of the Mississippi State Highway Department across the Yazoo River at Yazoo City, Mississippi.
THE REGULATIONS

1. The owner or agency controlling the aforementioned bridge will maintain a draw tender in constant attendance at said bridge during highwater periods when so directed by the United States District Engineer.
2. Persons requiring opening of the draw of the bridge at other times shall give at least three hours notice of the time at which such opening will be required, in person, in writing, or by telephone, to a designated representative of the owner or agency controlling the bridge. Upon receipt of such notice the representative shall cause a competent draw tender to be at the bridge at the time specified in the notice and the bridge shall be promptly opened for the passage of the vessel at such time, or, if the vessel be delayed, for a reasonable time thereafter.
3. The owner of or agency controlling the bridge shall keep conspicuously posted on both the upstream and downstream sides of the bridge in a manner that it can be easily read at any time, a copy of these regulations, together with a notice stating exactly how the representative specified in paragraph 2813
