THREE OPINIONS
ON fISH CASES
RENDERED TODAY
In three opinions read this morn
ing by Judge Robert W. Jennings,
ono tor himself, and two for Judge
R M. Brown, it was held that neither
permits from the War Department to
construct fish traps, nor 'Territorial
license giving permission to operate
fish traps, conveyed title to fish
trap sites and that under tho law
no provisions are made for the loca
tion of fish trap sites.
In one case it was contended that
the local custom of the fishermen
and operating companies of posting
notices on the shore w^uld hold a
site. This was held not to bo so
under the law, and tho throe decis
ions are unanimous in declaring that
actual prior possession can be tho
only question considered In contro
versies over tho title to trap sites.
Thllnket Case
Tho first opinion rendered was in
tho case Of the Thllnket Packing
Company vs. tho P. E. Harris Com
pnny, in a dispute over tho title to
a -trap site in Ground Hog Bay, Icy
Straits. Tho plaintiff company ap
plied for and obtained a temporary
injunction against the defondnnt re
straining it from completing their
trap, on which they wore working.
The plaintiff company then contin
ued to drive their trap, and a coun
ter complaint was filed by tho Hnr
ris Company, alleging prior posses
sion, and that tho trap of the Thlln
ket Company would cork thSMrap.
Trap Direction Changed
In his finding under the evidence,
Judge Jennings found that the Thlln
ket Packing Company, since the start
of the suit, had changed the direc
tion of tho trap and that it did not
cork the trap of the Harris Com
pany. Ho also held that the.Harris
Company was in prior actual pos
session of the site and that the per
mit from the War Department was
merely Issued to guard jigalnst the
obstruction of navigable waters. It
was also hold that the license issued
by the Territory was merely for the
purpose of levying u tax on tho ac
tual operation of a trap and that no
application for a license need be
made until after a trap had been ac
tually constructed, and that neither
the permit or license conveyed title
to the site. The Injunction is to be
dismissed with neither sldo to re
cover costs, according to the opinion.
Both sides are left Just where they
were pt tho beginning of litigation.
Will Appeal Case
The opposing attorneys in this
case will file their findings In tho
matter tomorrow morning and the
final decision will then be rendered.
Judgo John R. Winn, for the plaintiff,
stated today that In order to test
tho law and settle the question, an
appeal will be made to the Circuit
Court.
Ketchikan Case Decided
The opinion in tho case of the
Pure (Food Fish Company vs. tho
Anacortcs Fish Company, a dispute
over the title to a fish trap site on
Gravina Island, near Ketchikan, Judge
Brown held the same as Judgo Jen
nings and the temporary Injunction
was dismissed. The defendants, who
are In actual possession of the prop
erty nnd whose trap is nearly com
pleted are entitled to remain.
Tho other opinion handed down by
Judge Brown was in the case of the
Northwest Fisheries Company vs.
Spenser VanZandt. and as the plain
tiffs are In actual possession, with a
trap nearly completed, they will be
allowed to retain possession.
