Voted: That the following by-law be adopted by the Town: (1) No motor boat shall be operated upon that portion of the Concord River or of its tributaries, or of any inland lake lying within the Town, in a manner which endangers the safety of the public or is detrimental or injurious to the neighborhood or to the value of property therein. (2) It shall be prima facie evidence of the violation of this by-law if such motor boat is operated by a motor not having an under-water exhaust, or in a noisy or obnoxious manner, or at any unreasonable rate of speed, or without slowing down and exercising due caution while approaching and passing persons bathing or any other water craft. (3) Any person violating any provision of this by-law shall be subject to a fine not exceeding $20.00 for each offence. (4) The Town may join with any other town, through which said Concord River or any of its tributaries flows, in the en- forcement of this by-law or a similar by-law adopted by such other town, in so far as such by-laws relate to the said river or its tributaries, and may appropriate money for the enforce- ment in whole or in part of any or all of such by-laws.
