The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-03-10

announces the last date of fishing may defer the serving of their layup time to the beginning of the follow ing season, subject, however, to the allowances contained in Provision 19
 TO- The calculation of layup time shall begin at noon on day fish are sold except when fish are discharg- ed in a port other than port of sale, in which case time shall count from noon on the day of discharge. If a vessel lays over from one days sale to the next days sale, the vessel will be allowed to count the time laid over as layup time. Vessels may be outfitted during layup period but time used in going from port cf sale to port of outfit where the port of outfit is closer to the fishing banks will not be counted as layup time No master or fisherman shall fish all ternately in two vessels for the pur- pose Of avoiding layup time.
 H. No vessel shall fish sable or mixed cod during the regular layup following halibut trip.
 12. The serving of layup time may be divided between port of sale and any customs port in Southeastern Alaska. When this is the case, the date of departure from the last GUS toms port shall be determined by adding the average running time be- tween port of sale and last customs port to the date on which the veS- sells layup would have ended if seiv- ed entirely in port of sale. For the purposes of this provision, the fol- lowing running time from Seattle shall be considered as average. to Ketchikan, three (3) days; to Peters turg, three and one-half (3la) days: to Sitka and Juneau, four (4 days.
 IS. Any vessel leaving port with ice andior bait aboard shall be con- sidered as having departed for the fishing banks In ports other than vessels home port the date the vessels halibut license is validated or customs clearance is dated, whichever is earlier, shall be used as exclusive evidence of the date of departure. In vessels home port, the date the vessels halibut licerse is validated shall be used as evi- dence of the date of departure ex- cept where the master reports to member of the Control Board In the latter case, the time the master reports will be used as proof of the time of departure of the vessel. When this is done, any other avail able evidence will be used to deter mine the time of departure. Like wise, in ports not having customs officer any available evidence will be used to determine layup facts.
 IA. Any vessel weighing out in ex- cess of it's limit plus leeway shall have added to it's layup penalty of enc day for each 800 pounds or par. thereof of such excess. The vessel may reduce this penalty by donating to the Halibut Overage Fund the proceeds of any of such excess not exceeding 200 pounds per man: the remainder must be served for at the prescribed rate.
 Is. Overages donated to the Over age Fund may consist of the proceeds from second class fish. When ves- sel is penalized by a buyer for mis- hailing, donations shall be comput- ed at twenty per cent less than se- cond class price.
 16. Any vessel that leaves on any trip before serving its full curtal! ment requirements shall be requir- ed to serve a penalty of one day foi each day not served in addition .t being required to make up tho time not served.
 IT. Any vessel giving fish to buy CTS, packers, or any other vessel, for the purpose of avoiding average penalties, shall be penalized one day for each 100 pounds of fish so given.
 IS. All vessels temporarily retir- Ing from halibut fishing at any time to engage in any other employment and having average penalties, layup penalties, or deferred layup time to serve, shall serve such time in port either during the ten day immed- lately following the last ha,ibut trip prior to retirement or in addition to the regular layup between the first and second trips after the resump- ton of halibut fishing; provided, however, that in case the vessel does not resume fishing in the year in which the retirement occurs, the time shall be added to the vessels date of departure for the following season. Time to be served in this manner does not include the normal layup for the last halibut trip prior to retirement, as this layup may be served at any time during retire ment. Any vessel which engages in any other employment during the length of its normal layup only any Area ? vessel which fishes during tine entire Area ? season and then re- tires to engage in other employment, 1T any vessel which retires from halibut fishing to engage in sable fishing when the taking of limited quantity of halbut in Area is legal,
