*****
A session such as this ought to
fee of particular benefit to com
munities in Alaska. The old
“shack” concept of building has
been replaced with a new con
; cept—that of building permanent
: homes in Alaska—and many of
them comparable fco homes
throughout the U.S. Any way tfos
.’1 Governor can further that jj&p, is
one more step away from the
“igloo” reputation Alaska now has
throughout the rest of the nation.

FALL FISHING ABOLISHED
(Continued from page 1)
area as in other areas,” Lindslej
propose to close on August 2 anc
keep it closed for one week. If th<
pink run is heavy, too heavy tc
close the Inner-Karluk section, il
will remain open.” It is (proposed
to open the fall season September
20.
A. J. Cichoski, Secretary for the
Kodiak Fish Producers Associa
tion, asked Lindsley for a clarifica
tion on the -closure date. In a
pamphlet handed out, closure date
proposed was August 9, he said,
and ‘you stated closure date woufyl
M August 13;” In reply, Mr. Lind
sley stated the season will he set
up for July 8 to August 13. “If the
run is poor, we will apply tire
brakes.
Cichoski then stated that its easy
to get closures, but when there are
fish, extensions come hard.
Pat Cannon, President of the As
sociation, then stated he will make
the same proposal as last year—
his group recommended a s-e-in
lead of 75 fathoms for Kodiak
“What happened to that proposal
last year?” he queried. Mr. Lind
sley replied that it was opposed at
other hearings, and after all testi
mony, opposition won out.
Pet ) Olson then said he thought
everybody should have the same
amount of lead, “25 fathoms with
7 inch mesh and pulled up on the
weekend. Treat everybody alike,’
he said.
Pete Unger then asked that the
department allow a two day exton
sion on the fishing season—“t<
take care of Alaskan fishermen
Gharrett stalod “our basic law doe:
not allow us to discriminate.” H<
was referring to fishermen win
come up from the States.
Calling tko fall season “a joke’
Joe Maxwell from Uyak Bay, pre
posed that it be abolished. “If yoi
are going to give us a fishing se<
son, give it to us in August wba
there are some fish.” He then
tacked the Department’s lack of er
foreement. “If I kick in the side o
a building, I am put in jail, bu
your department sends fishery vie
lators a nice summons and then
wire asking them to come in on ;
certain day—practically at thei:
convenience.”
Mr. Lindsley then stated the en
foreement procedure was set up t<
avoid loss of the fishermen’s tim<
during the season. “We have beei
inclined to be a little easy,” h<
said.
Maxwell then stated: “I don’
know of a single man that caugh
20,000 fish that was not either fish
ing with illegal gear or fishing il
legally.” He was referring to tin
Uyak area, where he said he at
tempted to get the FWS boat “Kit
tiwake” to check on some of thi
illegal fishing going on.
Mr. C. K. Saxton then recom
mended that “either we shoulc
close off Barring Bay altogether
or leave the markers the way the?
weie before.” The markers have
been moved almost to the outsid<
of the Bay, leaving just <me spdt U
fish. “There were large boats witl
250 fathom seines that stayec
there all season and made set;
right outside the marker^ taking
turns. It was impossible to legallj
, in that Bay were protectei."
Lindsley then stated the closure
• was made thinking-it would add to
- the escapement “If it isn’t it is
, .wrong/' he said. He further stated
, something had been gained ’from
. the present closure, and the area
should receive further study.
> Pat Cannon then stated he was
» going to oppose any further clo
sure of the bay.
- Other subjects discussed were
1 repdators and their control* the
fishing of trout commercially,
other closures, and bounties on the
on sea lions and trout.
