 PROCURE PROPER LICENSE

in the various fishing districts; these laws are at present dis couraging the fishermen, keep ing them from using the most productive kinds of gear and cur tailing the catches. Also in some of the districts closed seas- ons on certain varieties of salt water fish are now being enforc- od during the periods when these varieties are in greatst abun- dance in the shore waters and in many of the districts restric- five laws against non-residents
 ol alien fsermen are rendering t impossible for vessels and equipment from one state to make catches of fish in the shore waters of adjacent States.
 In the enactment of the regu- lations due regard will be paid by the Food Administration to any present restrictions which are vitally necessary from the standpoint of conservation. Regulations will later be put irl- to effect on the Pacific Coast as result of the recommendations of the Federal Food Administra- tors for the salt water States. No modification will be made in regard to restrictions at present prevailing on the halibut salmon fisheries; the present laws benig regarded as very necessary to conserve the supplies of these varieties.
 The licenses will be issued without charge or fee of any kind under such rules and regu- lations governing the conduct of the business as may be regulated by the U. s. Food Administrat- ion.
 All applications for license must be on blanks to be provid- ed and must be mailed to the fol- lowing address:
