Every Fisherman Involved
CKetchikan News

(heJCnlkan NeWS)
 Every fisherman and small boat owner in Alaska would be vitally affected by proposed Bill now pend- ing in Congress which would give the Coast Guard powers to enforce these boats to carry specified amount of marine equipment to protect life and prop erty."
 This Bill, known House Bill No 1762, provides requirements which would force majority of fishing and pleasure vessels lay up due to inability to meet the prohibive costs of the demands contained in the bill
 This legislation, under the guise of protecting life and property" is obvious attempt to create new business for the manufacturers of the marine equip nent required in the act Equipment which but few fishing craft need could efford.
 But in addition to the equipment the Bill further provides that NO fishing vessel shall be navgated or operated except in charge of AN OPERATOR H. CENsFD FOR SUCH SERVICE BY THE U. s. COAST GUARD MARINE INSPECTION.
 Another provision states = ALL FISHING YES sEIS WHICH OPERATE OCEANS MORE THAN F HOURS OUT OF ANY ONE DAY MUST BE IN CHARGE OF A LICENSED MASTER.
 There you have it fellows. It seems you had pet fer start stream of protests to Delegate Bob Bartlett over the passage of this masterpiece or prepare to line up for Coast Guard inspection.
