The report of the Department of Taxation shows that 2,828 nonresi- dent licenses were issued in 1949 and 4,990 in 1950, a total of 7,818. This year's crop should bring the present total to somewhere between 11,000 and 12,000, which would mean refunds approximating a half mil- lion dollars.

The Oircuit Court decision, how- ever, makes one comment that may have an effect on future halibut landings in Alaska. Judges Orr and Pope note thai “The statute appears to limit ance of licenses to one who is a citizen of the United States or who ‘possesses a valid declaration of intention’ to become <uch.” They add that “this aspect of the law is not involved here.” This aspect of the law, although not involved in the case of Ander- son and the union, might particu- larly apply to fishermen aboard Canadian halibut vessels, many of whom have by-passed Alaska ports because of the high license tax.
