Resolution 395 Resolution memorializing Congress to place a tariff upon importation of foreign fish Whereas the county of Del Norte and vicinity is devoted in great part to commercial fishing. particularly for the taking of tuna or albacore. commercially. and Whereas a great number of citizens and residents. of said county have considerable investment in fishing boats and equipment and gain their livelihood in the fishing industry: and Whereas it appears that local fishermen are compelled to compete with foreign countries or noncitizens in said industry and that there is imported a great amount of said sea products into the United States to the end that such competition will become confiscatory and. if continued. will ultimately end in the loss of the fisheries along the coast of California unless a tariff is placed upon imports of said sea products: Now. therefore. be it Resolved. That it is the sense of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Del Norte that Congress be memoralized to place a suitable and adequate tariff on importation of said sea products in a sufficient amount to equalize prices of foreign and domestic fish. Passed by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Del Norte this first day of October.
