After reading minutes of previous

introduced to the members. His ap-

hurry. President Smith read the law
governing issuance of licenses and
explained procedure taken in such
cases. Action on DIR. Bradberry's APP

DIR. Meyers reported events at the
leper settlement.
Certain Cinnamon notified the
Board that they We're prevented from
paying rent of fishing right between
tle prison and the railway wharf, as
fish caught there We're not allowed to
be sold. They wanted permission TO
catch and sell fish at the point named.
The physicisus considered that this
request virtually meant the raising of
the tabu on fishing in the harbor.
Some of the members believed that
fishing should not be allowed at any
place in the harbor. Definite action
will be taken on the matter at the
next regular meeting of the Board.
