 E. R. Stone. industrial director for the government. was the first 10 he questioned He discussed the system of leasing the cannery and said that in 1895 the communitv's share of the profits was S52.OOO. Proceeds from the cannery permit residents to have free electricity from the yillage-owned plant. and eliminate taxes Mir. Stone also discussed the village schools qua the health of the people.
 4 breGkWater was suggested bvI Mayor David Leask as one of the important needs of the community. There are men in Metlakatla who understand the work, he sad and all that is needed is an appropria- tion to finance the project.
 The matter of fish traps, which took up a large part of the time. was introduced by MT. Leask. He said that many streams which once had salmon, no longer have them. Loring, a community which once had 3OO residents and now has but 2l, was cited by him as an example of what happens when the salmon run ceases. The cause was ascribed to traps taking too many fish.
 AIO1zo Hamblett was permitted 70 present a statement from the hetchikan local of the Alaska Ma tive Brotherhood. asking for abou- ton of traps The request, he said. had the support of the 22O0 mem aers of the brotherhood in the Ter ritOry.
