MAJIY ATTEND KJlnER HEARING
98 persons attended the Power Boat
Hearing held in the N & N Hall, August
1, over which FWS Assistant Regional
Director, C# Howard Baltzo took charge#
The general issues discussed wore
Power and the Closing of the Setnet Sitos
above the limit markers*
Private opinions were freely offered
upon both issues# Judge Arnold, repre
senting Industry, spoke emphatically
against using power in Bristol Bay# The
reasons he presented were (l) this would
attract a tremendous influx of outside
boats which would offer ruinous competi
tion for resident fishermen; and (2) he
predicted that power boats would be so
much more efficient than present sail
beats that toe many fich would be caught
or the season would be drastically short
ened making it impossible to realize a
sufficient income#
Jim Downy, who represented the boat
fishermen, refused comment but will pre
sent briefs on the subject at a later
date# He indorsed the opinion that greater
measure should be taken on predatory study
and control#
The Native Brotherhood expressed no
opinion as a group but reserved their
commitment on the power question until a
later date when it will be voioed by their
President, Bob Gurtlor, in a written ro*
port#
On the issue of closing the setnot
sites above the limit markers, opinions
expressed the oonclus?..on that suoh a move
would affect more than 109 families that
fish above the limit stakeso Tom Gardiner
discussed the plight of the setnetters and
the necessity of predatory control. Set
