WILL Limit FISH
PRICE IF PROBE
JUSTIF|ES ACTION

If it is found necessary. after a
thorough investigation and public
hearing on the question, the territor.
ial food commission will take steps to
establish maximum price at which
fish shall be sold at the markets in
Honolulu. T. . d.
This is the announcement made by
j. F. Child, assistant executive Off.
Ger of the commission and federal
food administrator for the territory.
Under the bill passed by the last leg.
islature creating the territorial food
commission, the organization has the
power to make regulation establish
ing maximum price for fish.
But this will never be DONE" says
Mr.. Child, unless it is shown that an
artificial price is being maintained.
You cannot make a regulation. and
You cannot arrive at any definite con-
illusions unless You have the facts. II
you do these things without first get
ting down to the facts. you are SIM
ply killing the goose that laid the
golden egg" .
After the first of next month all
fish sold at auction or otherwise
brought into the local market will be
weighed and a record of the weights
of each variety will be kept by the
fish inspector. The purpose of this
is to secure definite information as
to how much fish the local commun-
fly is consuming. Data secured by
the food commission shows that OF
loo varieties of edible fish, only. about
81 varieties are being used for food
at the present time
The commission is also to deter.
mine whether any attempt is being
made to hold back fish and thereby
create an unsatisfactory price, As
soon as all desired information is at
hand, a public meeting will be called
to thresh out the fish problem from
all angles. Al list is to be made OF
the owners Of all mullet ponds and
the quantity of fish these ponds may
be made to produce. In this way the
commission may be able to determine
whether the owners are holding back
fish and keeping the price up. Fig
ures will also be secured on rentals
paid for the ponds.
After the public hearing is held,
the commission will determine
whether the facts justify the making
of regulation fixing the maximum
price at which the fish shall be sold to
the public.
