Supported by owners aud masters of vessels worth S5OO,O00 in the large fleet or halibut craft operating out of Sc. attle, Arthur R. Todd, a welIknown fisheries man of Seattle, has succeeded in organizing a producers exchange where, it is expected, much of tbe fu' ture buying and ceiling will be trans acted For years the fishermen en- gagged in the important halibut indus try have sought means of proper or ganization for the speedy disposal of their catches, but nothing practical was done until Todd stepped into the breach few months ago. The delay experienced in the past by the fisher men in selling to wholesalers will, to a large extent, be obViated. Heretofore the fishermen were obliged to telephone or call on each of the different buying houses in Seattle and Tacoma. With the exchange in working order brokers representing the fishing vessels will be on hand to deal directly with the whole salers. It also will insure quicker re turns to the fishermen and allow them to put to sea without delay. It is ex- pected that between eighty and ninety large gasoline fishing schooners will be represented on the new exchange. Now, according to Todd, who will man. age the new exchange at 67 Marion street viaduct, the organization is firm iy on it's feet and buyers and brokers representing the fishermen will be able to transact their business at the new exchange. Probably the first work of the exchange will be to handle the i'm mense winter catch of the Seattle ves- sells which go north every year to Ketch. ikau, Petersburg, Juneau and other points in Southeastern Alaska The winters operations will serve to test the efficiency of the scheme.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Living on Amboy avenue ! hardly
agree with the reader In Fridays
issue of the NEWS. Let the city
council get Convery place extended
to Smith street and get an outlet
to State street, where the neces-
sary land has already been donated
to the city and where the street can
be carried under both railroads.
Then encourage the trolley compa-
MES to run a line through the inter-
vening section. This can be done
with a comparatively small cost to
the city. / believe the law reads
that the railroad must build and
maintain bridges. The railroads are
given, or at least take many privi-
leges. They will not obstruct the
city's growth II they are approached
in the right spirit. This section OF
the city is very much neglected and
Is still growing in spite OF every
thing. II these suggestions were a
reality we would not see people who
work In factories in Perth Amboy go
to Fords and Metuchen Gas many are
doing now to buy land and build
homes, where prospects OF improve
ments and subsequent raises In
value is In my estimation very re-
mote. / know this will interest ev-
cry person living here now and also
many who would like to build here
If more conyeniences were here. and
I also wish to call the attention of
the downtown people to our needs.
