( ANNOT BE REFUTED
The condition of the halibut fish
c'des like every other fishery in Alas
ka is very unstable. Only by more
intensive fishing, by the use of high
er powered and larger boats and
more gear m the catch held up to
previous years. The percentage of
small halibut- grows each year and
in proportion the larger sized fish
'ail off. The inside waters which us
ed to team with halibut, large and
small, but a few years ago is insuf
ficient to care for more than a
small local fleet of the smaller ves
sels. These facts are incontrovort
able. The remedy lies within the
powers of the International Halibut
Commission. None offers any other
solution.
WE PREDICT— The local Hi
wins and local Town team loses.
