Senate bill No. 8 authorizes and di
reefs the attorney general to acquire
all private fishing rights, There is
little chance. that it will gel through

ground that any such attempt as that
contemplated in the measure would
cost far more than the territory can
afford to pay. 1t is estimated tna:,
although the bill allows $150,O00 for
buying the fishery rights, it would
take more than q million to accomp-
fish the task. III: - .<.
