Commissioner William Berdan will
borrow more than half million dol
lars to pay part Of this city's share
of its trunk sewer assessment. Com
missioner Berdan was directed to
take this action by the finance COM

is a member of the Passaic Valley
Sewerage Commission, let it be
known to the finance commission that

SUPPLY OF FISH
INADEQUATE To
MEET DEMAND
City Sealer Sullivan Using
Every Effort to Increase
Seafood Shipment.

City Sealer John II. Sullivan Is
finding it difficult to obtain enough
fish to supply the demand at the new
municipal markets. 1t is said that
the catch this week has been smaller
than usual because of bad conditions
on the coast.
Mr.. Sullivan was in touch with the
fishermen at Bedford today. He was
informed that they caught only about
1000 pounds Of fish yesterday and
Tuesday. Their clam supply was only
10000. Mr.. Sullivan had ordered 7000
pounds of fish and q 900 CLAIMS.
The boat containing the 1000 pound
shipment left Bedford, eon Raritan
Bay, this forenoon, and is due to
reach here at 4 p. m. Mr.. Sullivan
says he will open the Ferry street
marlSet and offer the fish and clans
for sale as soon as the boat arrives
and its cargo can be unloaded.
Mr.. sullivan all day yesterday was
in communication with various fish.
ing stations at the shore in an effort
to obtain more sea food.
The fishermen notified him over the
long-distance telephone that their
catch had not come up to their ex-
pectations and that they had not
shipped any fish or CLAIMS yesterday
at all. Mr. Sullivan, however, was
assured he would receive at least
1000 pounds of fish by today.
When informed this morning that
only 1000 pounds of fish was on the
way, Mr.. Sullivan was much disap-
pointed. With the demand for fish
that was prevalent on Tuesday and
Wednesday, today's shipment will be
sold out before the market closes to-
night This would leave none on hand
for tomorrow's delivery. On Friday
there is always an extra heavy de-
mand for the sea food
The fishermen explained to Mr.
Sullivan that the wind had been
against them for two days. They
said the nets were filled with moss
bunkers and other fish that were not
edible This variety of the sea food
is shipped to fertilizer factories.
where it is made into oil.
| Mr.. Sullivan has arranged TO hire
several large motor trucks. if neces-
sary, in order to get fish for tofn.r-
row
There was a big crowd in front of
the Bank street market this morning.
but the store did not open on account
Of the lack of supply. When some
peddlers arrived in front of the mar
ket there was a rush to them to buy
fish. The wagons bore signs saying
the fish would be sold at six cents per
pound The peddlers did a big bust
ness for a while.
