Hearing Before the Committee ... (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781023830171)

This volume contains the official record of hearings before the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the United States House of Representatives, held in January and February 1904. The hearings focus on H.R. 7264 and related bills designed to provide for the establishment and maintenance of lighthouses, lightships, and fog signals at various strategic locations.

The testimony and discussions offer valuable insight into the legislative process and the considerations involved in improving maritime safety and navigation in the early 20th century. As a primary source document from the 58th Congress, it is essential for researchers interested in transportation history, maritime law, and the operations of the U.S. government.
