TRAP PERMITS
 BEING ISSUED FROM JUNEAU
Road Commission Office Acting on Applications
 Little Conflict

Preparations for the issuance of fish trap permits is occupying considerable time in the local of flee of the Alaska Road Commis- sion, according to Major Douglas II. Gillette, engineer officer. under whose supervision the work is being carried out.
 Among the files of applications there is little conflict, which is most gratifying, Major Gillette said today, and those which exist most undoubtedly resulted from the fact that the applicants did not know of the prior applications for the same sites. he added.
 As rapidly as possible the Com mission office notifies the apph- cants of the second priority of q conflict in sites in order that these applicants may apply f1s new locations where there is r9 conflict
 Comply Willingly
 ''It is very gratifying to see how the applicants have willingly com piled with the spirit of the new regulations without murmnr, said Major Gillette.
 Tt is believed that if all will cooperate as well as has been done by those recently notified, that all trap operators will be able to start the season off smoothly without being embroiled i'll disputes over conflict.
 Promptness Is Motto
 "In order to be prepared for any eventuality we are now conduct ing negotiations with Washington with a view to making arrang 2 ments to handle with promptness in the department concerned any possible cases of conflict that might happen to arise from appli- cants of second priority refusing to cooperate
