SCALE OF SALARIES FOR MUNICIPALITIES IN SPECIAL PROVINCES; BASIS OF SALARIES OF MUNICIPAL OFFICIALS IN CAPIT ALS.-With reference to your letter dated April 22, 1947, requesting information as to whether or not Section 2184 of the Administrative Code is applicable to the municipalities in the specially organized provinces, please be advised that our reply thereto is in the negative .. Said law is applicable only to the municipalities in the regularly organized provinces. However, the scale established therein may be the basis of fixing salaries in municipal capitals in the specially organized provinces pursuant to Section 2607 (t) of the Administrative Code. The corOCTOBER-!\'OVEMBER, 1949 responding .section of said Code that governs the municipalities, like Maluko, in the specially organized provinc;es is 2615. That municipality having been classified as fourth class and not being the capital of the province, the salary of the mayor thereof is fixed under Section 2615 (cl) of the Administrative Code at P600 per annum only. The salary of P960 per annum for said position as provided for in the budget and plantilla of personnel of that municipality and allegedly approved by the Provincial Treasurer cannot, therefore, be authorized.-Lette1· dated May 28, 1947, of. U11dersecretary of the Interior to ivlzmicipal Mayor of Maluko, Bukiduon. MUNICIPAL INCOME FR 0 M FISHING AND FISHERIES; POLICY ON DEEP-SEA FISHING. - Resolution No. 2, series of 1947, of'the Municipal Council of Madriclejos, Cebu, seeks to divert to the Municipal Government the income or revenue which the Insular Government derives from fishing and fisheries. The Fisheries Law (Act 4003 as amended) recognizes the dual authority and control by the National and the Municipal Governments over Philippine tishing and fisheries. In fact, Section 16 of Act 4003 classifies fisherie~· according to their government and disposition into Insular, Municipal and Reserve fisheries. The National Government charges a nominal license fee of P5.00 for "basnig" and "iwag" outfits. The actual revenue from fishing licenses accruing to.:the National Government from the operators of fishing boats using Maclridejos as their base of Fishing Operation is P217 annuall~·. It can thus be· seen that the income from this source of revenue is very nominal. This is so because the National Government is committed to the policy of promoting and developing the deep-sea fishing operations. The more deep-sea fishing operators are, the better for the National as well as for the Municipal Government as this would not only tend to exploit and develop the fishery resources of the nation but would also add more income to the latter entity, ,the Municipal Government.
