Interior Secretary proposes Alaska trap site law to Congress
Secretary Krug sent a draft law to Speaker Martin to regulate salmon trap sites in Alaskan waters. The bill, effective Jan 1, 1948, would require leases and royalties, with allocations based on numbers of trap sites. Auctions would surrender expired or opened sites, natives taxed royalties payable to them. Current allocations list several companies with dozens of sites.
