READ BETWEEN THE LINES”
The nonresident fishermen’s
iieense tax bill had another
hearing in the Senate yesterday
afternoon. Amended Wednes
day to raise the trollers’ license
to $150 and seiners $50, a boost
of 1,500 per cent in the former
and 100 per cent in the latter,
the subject was reopened yes
terday. August Buschmann, N.
Bez, prominent cannerymen, H.1
L. Faulkner and R. E. Robertson
protested against the increase on
seine fish particularly and urged
the present $25 rate be not
changed. They also asked the
Senate to hold the troller sched
ule to not more than $50 for the
next two years.
Messrs. Buschmann and Bez
pointed out that the increased
seiners’ tax would fall largely on
the herring packing industry,
as the major portion of the sein
ers brought into the Territory
for the season were employed
on herring boats. However, Mr.
Bez pointed out, a few canner
ies in the Bristol Bay district
were entirely dependent on sein
ers and the in-creased levy would
fall heavily on them.—Empire.
