On June ?. prior to his retirement from of flee. Governor Thomas Riggs took this matter up with Secretary Fall by telegraph. asking for the assign ment of eight subchasers and ten der
 Secretary Fall immediately trans mitted the request to the navy de- partment. In response Secretary Denby said that owing to a shortage of both enlisted and commissioned personnel and scarcity of funds, the navy department is precluded from committing itself to a plan for carrying on patrol of Alaskan waters in connection with activities having to do with the enforcement of the fishery laws of Alaska. The department of commerce, he stated. was so advised last October and it was suggested that such department might obtain a transfer of subchas- CTS or other suitable vessels from the navy and operate them as per manent fishery patrol fleet No ac- tion, however, was taken by the de- partment of commerce.
 An additional cutter, however, has been added to the coast guard fleet. operating in Alaska waters. and it is hoped that another cutter. to make headquarters in Juneau, will be sent north this fall or early winter, ac- cording to advices received at the governors office. The Haida, re- gently completed and practically ready for commissioning, will join the Alaska coast guard fleet in a few weeks. The vessels at present in the coast guard service in terri itorial waters are the Bear. Aigcn- quin. BotAweI and Unalss.
