•oiii*te*»n days. The full memhrr
<hit» of the Commission was pre
-ent. until the 18:h when Ur.
3h»se of the Third Division whs
* . I led home to Cordova.
During: ihe session caieful
consideration whs given U> a large
lumber of written and verbal
suggestions and constructive
criticism proposing changes or
‘ontinuing in effect the present
emulations effecting game, fur
ind thirds in the Territory.
The Commission does not
leem it advisable to announce at
this time detailed changes which
t is proposing for the reason
'hat announcement of proposed
•hanges would be misleading
without the full text of the regul
itions and act ot hand. Therefore,
no announcement of detailed
changes will appear until the
Regulations are published in
ievised form about April 1.
For Southeastern Alaska no
material changes have been pro
posed, it being found after care
ful consideration of written sug
gestions received and personal
hearings held during the meeting
that the existing regulations
appear to meet fairly well the
game and fur conditions as found
in this particular section. Any
slight changes which have been
proposed for other parts of the
Territory have been primarily to
bring into harmony open and
closed seasons as well as to ad
just certain trapping seasons to
meet climatic conditions. The
aim of the Commission is to
make the least possible number
of changes, and those which are
being proposed are designed to
assist in the production of better
quality furs and will also facilit
ate obtaining game meat when it
is in the best condition.
