New
Fishery
Regulations
of

Government
Were
Discussed
Here
Last
Evening
At

given

by
Fred
Mathers
of
the
B.
C.
Packers
to
representatives
of
the
Board
of
Trade,
the
city
council
and
the
fishermen,
there
was
a
long
discussion
in
regard
to
the
new
regulations
recently
promulgated
by
Hon.
S.
L.
Howe.
Mr.
Mathers
made
the
opening
address,
explaining
the
regulations,
and
Charles
Lord,
for
the
fishermen,
laid
their
case
before
the
gathering.
Acting
Mayor
Collart
presided
and
many
expressed
their
views.
Mr.
Mathers
said
in
part
:
"Prince

is
the
centre
of
the
largest
and
most
productive
fishing
!

In
Canada.
She
is,

in
any
regulations

pertain
to

to
have

of
placing
before
such
a
representative
gathering
-a
few
facts
which
may
help
to
clarify
the
situation
in
regard
to
the
proposed
fishery
legislation
as
outlined
by
the
Provincial
Government
at
Vic-!
toria.
The
regulations
as
proposed
by
Mr,.
Howe's
department
are
as
fol
lows:
"'For
a
period
of
five
years
no
new
cannery
licensee
shall
be
is
sued.
Coupled
with
this
limitation
of
cannery
licensee
is
the
regula
tion
whereby
every
licensed
ean-
nery
is
given
a
definite
rating
of
gill
nets
or
seines.
If
any
cannery
accepts
fish
from
more
than
this
rating
then
they
are
subject
to
can
cellation
of
their
cannery
license.
"Some
of

over
the

legislation
of
