for a more effective patrol of
the waters of Alaska in the fu

the department is satisfied that
not only have the fishermen

Rritish Columbia have been
poaching in the waters of Al

that in case it is impossible for
vessels to be built in time for
this years work, power boats
will be charted for the work
this season, and the depart
