Section 78. Assignment of berths for loading or unloading

The corporation
  or its representative may assign berths to all floats while  loading  or
  unloading  at  any  landing  place  upon  a canal and determine disputes
  concerning same. The  corporation,  shall,  as  to  any  of  the  locks,
  terminals or mooring places of the canal system used by floats, regulate
  and  station  such  floats  for  the  best  interest  of navigation. The
  corporation may determine how far and  in  what  instances  masters  and
  other persons having charge of any float shall accommodate each other in
  their  respective  anchorages.  If  any  master  or  other person having
  control of any float within the limits of such waters shall  neglect  or
  refuse to obey the directions of the corporation, or its representative,
  in  any such matters within its authority, or shall resist or oppose the
  corporation in the execution of the said duties, such  person  shall  be
  liable  to  a  penalty not to exceed one hundred dollars, recoverable by
  the corporation in any court of competent jurisdiction, and payable into
  the canal fund.
