N.Y. Navigation Law § 93: Bond

§ 93. Bond. Before granting any such license, the commissioners shall

require the applicant to furnish a bond to the people of this state,

with two sureties to be approved by such commissioners or a majority of

them, in a penalty not exceeding five hundred dollars. Such bond shall

be conditioned upon the diligent and faithful performance by such pilot

of his duties, and upon his obedience to the rules, regulations and

decisions of the commissioners of pilots. Every such bond shall be

prosecuted in the name of the people of the state of New York, by or in

behalf of the commissioners, provided a majority of them shall so

instruct, and if any amount be collected in such suit it shall be paid

to the commissioners, who may thereupon direct the same to be applied

for the purposes specified in subdivision two of section ninety-seven of

this article.
