the Kenai city ordinances. The
Funny River Road
There are two opinions in the
area as to why work on the 14
mile pioneer access road to the
Funny River area has ceased.
It was brought out at the
meeting held several weeks
ago with Sen. Ernest Gruening
that the Fish and Wildlife had
ordered the stoppage to inves
tigate the legality of crossing
five and one-half miles of Na
tional Moose Range.
Later in the week, word was
out that the State ordered the
work stopped after receiving a
letter from an individual in the
area requesting further consid
eration for installing a bridge
over the Kenai River.
At press time, no official con
firmation was received at the
Cheechako News for either
story.
Comm. Fish Licenses Up On Cook Inlet
negisirauon oi commercial
fishing vessels and gear for
Cook Inlet has shown a slight
increase over last year, accord
ing to C. A. Weberg, area biolo
gist, Alaska Department t>f Fish
and Game.
This year 14 more drift boats
are registered to fish (386 in
1960, 400 in 1961) and 17 more
set net dories (525 to 542).
Gear licenses show 571 set
gill nets licensed for 1961, an
increase of 7 over last year.
Also 338 drift licenses have
been issued this year compared
to 317 for last.
A marked decrease in beach
seines is evident, with but three
licensed this year. There were
19 last year. Hand purse seines
decreased from 101 in 1960 to
80 for 1961.
“Some of the gear that is li
censed will not fish,” according
to Weberg. “Actually the
amount of gear that fishes this
year will be very close to that
of last year. Some fishermen
who have registered will not
fish if our experience of last
year is any criteria. Quite a
few licenses were voided last
year. The figures on licenses
for this year do not include any
voids,” according to the biolo
gist.
