Potter ABOUT 1ZU years ago. IN
der its provisions the Trustee is
appointed by the Chancellor. In
late 1862, James H. Latchum Of
Milford asked to be relieved as
trustee. The Chancellor accepted
his resignation with regret and
with an expression of deep graft
tude for his more than 40 years
of devoted and beneficial service
to the trust. The Farmers Bank
was appointed as his successor.
Under the Potter Will the
trustee has nothing to do with
determining those eligible for
benefits. The beneficiaries of the
funds are determined by the
Agent. She is Mrs. Margaret P.
Weller of Milford who was also
appointed by the Chancellor. In
terested individuals in Kent
County may apply to her for in
formation concerning eligibility
and application forms.
Another important change in
the administration of the trust
was begun in 1862 and will be
completed in early 1868. The
trust assets consisted largely of
farms and these farms have not
produced adequate income con-
sidering their capital value.

Fishermen from Kodiak, Prince William Sound, Southeastern AL aska, and even Puget Sound, came to Cook Inlet and all other Alas kan fishing areas. They were ef- ficient and they knew when to expect the main runs in each area. The runs were depleted while the set netters waited on the beaches for the salmon which never came.
