N.Y. Navigation Law § 101: Motor boat regulation zone

§ 101. Motor boat regulation zone. As soon as practicable, the

commissioner shall place on the mainland at some convenient point at or

near the water's edge at Fishers Landing, Jefferson county, New York,

and not more than one mile westerly thereof, a signboard facing the

water and bearing thereon in large characters the words "St. Lawrence

river boat regulation zone, west limit." He shall in like manner place a

similar signboard at some convenient place at or near the water's edge

and facing the water on the mainland easterly of Alexandria Bay and

within one mile easterly thereof and southeasterly of the United States

government lighthouse in the waters of said river, known as Sunken Rock

Light, except that the words "east limit" shall appear in the place of

"west limit". If necessary, he may acquire for the state, by agreement

with the owners of the lands affected, easements for such purposes. That

portion of the waters of the Saint Lawrence river northerly of the

mainland of Jefferson county and southerly of the international boundary

line between the United States and Canada and easterly of a line drawn

northwesterly from the marker hereinbefore referred to at Fishers

Landing and westerly of a line drawn from the marker hereinbefore

referred to easterly of Alexandria Bay, and running in a northwesterly

direction through the said Sunken Rock Light, shall constitute a motor

boat regulation zone for the purpose of this article. The expense

attached to the performance of the foregoing duties shall be payable

from moneys that may be available therefor by appropriation and from

moneys, if any, contributed by persons interested. Such zone shall be

deemed established and the rules prescribed by this article shall be

applicable when such poles or markers and signs shall be installed, and

not before.
