as to numbers, I fully appreciate the obligation of our citizens to the 

 Government of the United States and her Commissioners for a very 

 generous and valuable supply. The General Government having 

 practically, if not positively abandoned all work of supply in the 

 direction mentioned, the State must do it or lose the salmon. 



In my judgment this branch of fish culture demands immediate and 

 active attention of the Commission and the Legislature. 



I further suggest that a "boat license law" be enacted, requiring all 

 persons and parties known as market or cannery fishermen, and those 

 engaged in eatching fish to dry, salt, or transport, to pay a license tax 

 upon each boat used by them in their vocation. Such law will have 

 the approval of the law abiding fishermen. 



I further suggest that the State appropriate, for the thirty-seventh 

 fiscal year, $7,000, and for the thirty-eighth fiscal year, $6,000, and 

 that a special appropriation of about $1,000 be made to cover the defi- 

 ciencies of the thirty-fifth and. thirty-sixth fiscal years.
