COMMISSION MEN
PROTEST ON
FREE DOCK

Commission men are up in arms
over the possibility of the Bay
Island fruit growers coming IN
and breaking up their monopoly
aud a protest is being signed TO
go to the council next weak

prevent them going to Seattle.
Last year they had no place 70
dock their fruits here SO a fast
launch was put on and the finest
OF the crop was sent to Seattle.
The council ordered that they
