FAIRFAX FIGHTS
WATERPROOF
SCHEME

FAIRFAX, Va, Oct. 23.--At the
meeting OF the board of directors
OF the Fairfax County Chamber of
Commerce, M. f Church, Thomas
r. Keith, George Robey. George
Harrison, Harvey c. Clapp. G. X.
Wilson, G. h. Pickett, c. ii. Powell
and E. C. Gibbs were designated a
committee to survey the issues in
volved in the development by Fed
eral authorities of the Mt. Vernon
Memorial Highway.
1t was the opinion of directors that
this development as planned would
take in most of the waterfront Of
adjacent Virginia and would deprive
Fairfax county of its most logical
site for commercial expansion.
Holds Title
IT was felt that the National Gov.
eminent in taking this land for high
way and park purposes and at the
same time permitting the rapid COM
mercial growth of the Potomac bank
On the District of Columbia side
adjacent to Georgetown was depriv.
ing Virginia of more than the value
of the proposed improvements. The
committee named was instructed to
cooperate with the Fairfax County
Board Of Supervisors in an examna-
ton of the entire situati particu.
1arly with regard to the land near
Mt. Vernon proposed rs national
plaza to which the county still holds
title.
f. c. Gibbs of Mt. Vernon was
named to investigate the recent ac-
ton of the Virginia League of Mu-
nicipalities in seeking to change the
law governing annexation Of ada
cent rural communities by cities so
Rs to make such annexations easier
to effect.
Opposes Plans
The directors decided that any
legal changes which would make it
easier for municipalities to put such
annexations through without ade-
quate compensation to the annexed
territory for improvements should he
vigorously opposed. MIR. Gibbs was
instructed to study the fea sibility of
forming league of rural communi-
ties to fight annexation plans con
sidered unfair.
On recommendation of Mrs. e. D.
NOsbury it was decided to request
Judge Howard Smith to appoint
welfare board to serve without pay.

Higher License for Fish
 ermen Wednesday

Senator Benjamin's fisheries license bill, will be made special order of business next Wednes- day. The bill has been amend ed so that the old rates prevail for the seiners, leaving the poor slaves without any relief from foreign competition. License for alien fishermen operating trolling boats up to 20 feet long, is set at $50; for operators of boats over that length the tax is set at $150.
 This has the support of virtu- ally every resident business in- terest and all fishermen. The seiner, however, who has no re- lief from foreign seine, foreign trap competition will secure no relief from the "buncum" plat formers.

Important Fish
 Pact Signed

A treaty for the preservation ard extension of sockeye salmon fisheries of the Fraser River Sys- tenn, which includes the waters, contiguous to the State of Wash ington and the province of Bri- tish Columbia, was signed last month by Secretary Kellogg and the Canadian minister, Vincent Massey.
 The treaty provides for estab- liShment of an international fish cries commission of six mem bers, three for the United States and three for Canada. The com missioner of Fisheries of the United States will be one of the American members.
 The commission is charged with the duty of making a tho rough investigation into the na- tural history of the sockeye sal mon and is given power to de- velop the fisheries and to main tain hatcheries.
 It also is given power to es- tabliSh a closed season when fishing for sockeye salmon will be prohibited, between June 1 and August 20 in each year, and to regulate the character and size of fishing gear.
 The treaty is concluded for period of sixteen years, after which it is subject to termina- ion on notice of one year by the government of either country.
 The treaty is the first that has been signed by the United States with a Canadian resident minis ter at Washington, and is also the last treaty signed by Sec retary during his term of office Other treaties proposed by Ca nada met with opposition from American canning interests and failed to receive endorsement Of the United States Senate. Or each occasion Canada was con- pelled to repeal laws made to conform with the proposed treaty.

Trollers Advise 0'Malley And
 Ask War on Sea Lions

now confess you are very uncer-
 tain, which uncertainty, your letter, says, has developed since we began to correspond with you on the subject of regula- GlonS that has shut us up.
 We hope that the closing order will be rescinded because it does particle to the Serva- tion of the king salmon. The only effect is this-that resident Alaskans will have to share with the nonresident troller in April the same fish which these same Alaskans might have caught during January, February and March. If these early king sal- mon were spawn fish, the clos ing order would help. But these king salmon are feeding fish which will continue to swim around the outside trolling areas looking for feed to April and on.
 Now as to your promise of more effective restrictive meas ures" interpreted in the light Of your last paragraph in which you state that inferentially our organization desires ito avoid anything more than possibly a very nominal restriction of sal- mon trolling operations" permit us to say that such an inference questions our good faith and is not warranted by the. facts which in short are these-you have prohibited trolling during January, February and March for purposes of conservation, and we have made such a strong case against the effectiveness of that order that in your last let terse you admit that perhaps the order lis less effective as a conservation measure than at first contemplated" If you had given us the opportunity of ad- vising with you similar to your conferences in Seattle with other fishing interests, we would have brought up our proposed sub- stitute, namely, that king sal mon that would dress under six pounds be protected during the entire year The results of your plan would be wiped out in April,
 whereas our plan would save three per cent of the king sal- mon.

MT. Henry O'Malley,
 Commissioner of Fisheries, Washington, D. o.
 Dear Sir:
 referring now to your favor o1 February 23, 1929, we beg leave to make the following reply to the questions in the order ot your asking:
 ], What percentage of the catch consists of fish under six pounds?
 Answer. Our best estimate is that this amounts to 3 per cent.
 Z. What is the maximum, the minimum, and the average of number of trolling lines per boat?
 Answer. The maximum is T, the minimum 4, and the aver age number of trolling is 5. We affirm that no person who is trolling seriously uses less than 4.
 3. How many hooks are or idinariIy used on each trolling line?
 Answer. Three.
 Answer: According to the fish formation available to you, how many trolling boats are operat- ed in southeastern Alaska by resident trollers, natives ana whites, and how many come into southeastern Alaska each sea- son from the outside?
 Answer: Acording to the fish ing tax collectors there were 1,705 resident trollers and 9O5 nonresident trollers in south eastern Alaska last year,
 5. How many of these boats are ordinarily operated in the months of January, February, and March?
 Answer: During January and February about 25 per cent of yhe resident trollers, and during March 75 per cent thereof. The nonresident trOllers come in April and May.
 We note that you say you are not satisfied as to the effective ness of our proposed regulation making 1t unlawful to catch for commercial use any king sal mon that would dress under six pounds.
 You must grant us this-that we speak from our experience and on 8 subject on which you
