NEW RULES FOR
 TRAP PERMITS
 ARE ANNOUNCED
War Department Adop ts { New Regulations for
 Issuance of Permits

In circular letter addressed ''To All Concerned" the United States District Engineers office here has just drawn up new re. quirements for securing licenses for fish trap locations and mauc them public today. The new poli- cy, which provides for close co operation with the Bureau of Fisheries so far as fish trap per mits are concerned, is materially different from that pursued in the past by the War Department.
 The new regulations are effec- tive immediately and no new pei- mits will be issued until after January 1, 1928. Valid permits already held which have some time to run before their expira- tion, it was intimated, would not be affected.
 Text of Letter
 The circular letter, which is be ing mailed out to all salmon packers and holders of location permits, follows:
 Effective immediately the War Department will not grant fish trap permits where to do so would obviously result in a conflict with regulations of the United States Bureau of Fisheries.
 No permits will be issued dur ing the remainder of this calen- dor year. All permits issued af- ter January I, 1928. will contain a provision that if the complete trap therein authorized is not in position by a specified date, the War Department reserves the right to cancel the permit. "Effective immediately. the War Department will not issue trap permits for locations within if teen hundred feet of navigation aids maintained by the Depart ment of Commerce, except upon concurrence of the Lighthouse Service.
 Applications for permits will be considered in the order :n which received except that no application will be considered where the Territorial license IS not applied for within two days after the application for permit is received in this office.
 Showing is Required Drawings accompanying appli- cations must in future show ac. curate information as to the loca- tion, either by actual survey to determine the latitude and longi- tude, by compass bearing on some definite object (preferabIy navigation aid), or by actually measured distance from some def mite object in the vicinity and or the same shore line. It must also be shown that the proposed trap will not be in areas in which fish
