C, Safety Climbing Commit- tee Thursday night. These volunteers are pledged to go to the aid of persons lost or injured in the mountains. They will be called out by the committee whenever necessary. The list will be divided into sec- tions to implement elficlency. Because of newspaper public- ity regarding dangers of moun- tain climbing, only a few hikers were reported missing last year, the committee was informed. A new first-aid kit has been instal- led on Hollyburn Ridge and Reeve J. B. Leyland has express- ed hope that s telephone will be installed on the ridge within a year. Besides Reeve Leyland those present included Charles Graves of the Alpine Club of B. C., who acted as chairman; Chief of Police W. IV. Hemingway of Dis- trict of North Vancouver, Lind- say Loutet of Grouse Mountain Ski Club, Gordon Billingsley of Hollyburn Ski Club, and Les Gol- man representing B. C. Mount- aineering Club. Tribute wss paid to the c~peration of Chief Hemingway in searches for lost hikers, TISDALL FOR NORTH VANCOUVEII C. E. Tisdall, commissioner of North Vancouver District, may also manage the aifairs of North Vancouver City. Mr. Pooley said Tuesday the possibility of allow- ing Mr. Tisdall to act as commis- sioner for both municipalities, in the interests of economy, as urged by some North Vancou- ver leaders, would be considered by the cabinet. hlr. Pooley ex- plained that there is no legal barrier to this arrangement. At the request of Mayor Mor- den of North Vancouver City, Mr. Pooley said he was consult- ing his legal experts on the ques- tion of whether the government is bound to appoint a commis- sioner in the city, the courts having ruled it in default on bond interest. Mr. Pooley said this point was not entirely clear. He would not indicate, however, whether the government would consider refusing to appoint a commissioner as Mayor Morden urges. The proposed union of the two municipalities is not a matter for the government, but for them, Mr. Pooley added. If they wish to undertake amalgamation they must vote on the subject by way of a referendum. Patronize the merchants in our Business Directory. Reeve J. Jjl.

Investigations which It has carried on during the past few years have satisiied the Interna- tional Fisheries Commission, representative of Canada and the United States, that the hali- but fishery of the North Pacific, which was being rapidly dc(tlet- ed, can not only be maintained as the world's most valuable fishery of the kind, but can be made productive of a greater abundance of fish. The investigations show that the desired end can be accomp- lished by the application of reg- ulations which are entirely prac- ticable from the standpoint, of the halibut industry. What sound regulation can do has already been indicated, moreover, by the fact that the abundance of halibut on the banks has shown an upward trend during the psst year. Evidence of this trend was to be seen in an increased catch per unit of fishing gear. Regulations that were adopted to govern the fishery during the 1932 season were found by the commission to work very well, on the whole, but it is under- stood that certain minor modif- ication for the coming season have been under consideration and are dealt with in the report and recommendations which the commissioners are now submit- ting to the Government of Can- ada and the Government of the United States. Under the Pacific Halibut Treaty the commission- ers have power of regulation over the fishery, subject to the approval of the Governor Gen- eral of Canada and the President of the United States. Industry Consulted Preparation of the report and recommendations followed upon sittings which the commission recently held on the Pacific Coast with the Advisory Coun- cil, which on the suggestion of the commissioners several years ago, was formed of representa- tives nominated by the fisher- men's associations on the differ- ent parts of the coast. Public hearings attended by fishermen were also held by the commis- sion at Seattle, IVash., and Prince Rupert, B. C. At the meeting with the Advisory Council the commissioners went fully into the whole situation with the representatives of the association, outlining the results of investigational work done during the past year and indi- cating what these results show- ed to be necessary for the proper protection of the fishery. The International Commission popularly known as the "Halibut Commission," was created under the Pacific halibut treaty be- tween Canada and the United States, which has as two of its main provisions (I) that a thor- ough investigation be made by the commission into the life his- tory of the Pacific halibut and (2) that recommendations be made as to proper regulation of the fishery with a view to its maintenance and upbuilding. In pursuance of these objects the commissioners have given their work much thought and the staff which has been under their dir- ection has carried on a great deal of most efficient scientific in- vestigation. The commission is understood to be well pleased with the pro- gress that has been made, and feels that no similar investiga- tion has accomplished morc in sn equal time or has carried out work of this kind, which is es- sentially of a costly nature, on a more economical basis. One of the results of the investlgrr tion has been to establish that Januarv 19, 1933. diFerent areas of the treaty wat- ers sre populated by distinct stocks of halibut which do not intermingle with one another to any extent. If the diiferent stocks of fish ln these diFerent areas are to be properly protect- ed, the areas must obviously be treated digerently in regulating the iishery. This fact was rec- ognized in the regulations adopt- ed before the opening of the last season, Another fact establish- ed by the investigators was that certain areas are populated by immature fish which scatter largely to adjacent banks when they reach maturity, snd to give these flsh a chance to grow up the regulations forbid all fishing in two of these "nurseries"--one oif British Columbia and the second oif Alaska. Other pro- visions in the regulations put limitations upon the quantities of halibut that might be taken from each of the two largest producing areas.
