Under questioning by Delegate

the fish and game transfer this
week, Director Farley stated he
couldn’t recall when the issuance
of the regulations had come at
such a late date. Delegate Bart
lett pointed out that the delay
was causing “a great burden on
the people in the fisheries” be
cause of uncertainty as to the
content of the regulations.
‘‘The regulations will not be
quite complete,” Director Farley
stated, “but at the time they are
issued notice will be given of the
nature of the rest of them so that
the fishermen and the processors
will have knowledge of what is
coming out.”
