WOULD PROBE
PRICE OF FISH
BIZ Special oorrespondont.

Trenton, July 2S:-Mayor Richard
w. Cronecker, of Sea Isle City, writ
ing to Governor Edge about the price
of fish, has asked the executive to
refer the matter to the High Cost of
Living Commission created by the
last legislature. He says hundreds of
barrels of 200 pounds of fish each
are shipped daily from the fish pound
Industry at Ocean City, Sea Isle City,
Stone Harbor and Anglesea to the
Philadelphia and New York markets.
The companies receive mainly from
two to five cents a pound for the
fish, from which must be deducted all
expenses by the fishermen before re-
ceiVing the amount actually due
them. Judging from the newspaper
quotation, writes the mayor, the re-
tailers sell the food at ten cents a
pound and upward.
The writer suggests each commu-
nifty buying the fish wholesale and
selling 1t under the auspices of some
responsible civic association. He
says this plan has been tried out and
found to be successful.
Replying to the communication of
Mayor Cronecker, the governor stat
ed that he would turn over the sug-
gestions to the State High Cost OF
Living Commission, which he states
ing to the information he is receiving
He states the plan of community sell
ing of the fish was advocated at the
last session of the Legislation and is
being considered by the commission.
The executive thanks Mayor Croneck-
er for his offer to assist the investiga-
ton of food prices and will turn the
latter's letter over to the High Cost of
Living Commission.
Along the same lines Is a commun-
ication the executives has received
from J. Finley Bell, of Englewood,
who asks an Investigation of the stor-
age plants in New Jersey to determ-
Inc what they contain, their condition
and time in storage and for the furth-
er purpose of ascertaining If the stor-
age Is a means of Withholding pro-
duce in order to control food prices.
THE present method and scope of
inspection Is decidedly inefficient and
results obviously delusive," states the
writer.
Replying to this communication.
Governor Edge stated that he has
turned the matter over to the State
Department of Health and the State
Department of Agriculture.

CAPTURE TWO BIG
SHARKS At kEYPORT
Largest One Was Monster and
is Now on Exhibit-0ther
Much Smaller.
pu speclal CORRESPONDENT.

Keyport, July 2S:-After a short
winters vacation the sharks are here
again and are much on the job. Two
of the monsters were caught Thurs
day in the waters around this bor-
ough. One was caught off East Point
In the nets of William Terry and
William Daley. The other, a baby
shark, about three feet long, was
caught in the nets of William Holm
es
The baby shark was caught about
three hundred feet off shore of the
brickyard property. Both sharks
were alive and very active when first
taken from the water and both were
placed on exhibition by their captors.
The baby shark was exhibited in
Mr.. Holmes fish market on Front
street and drew .throngs of spectators.
Several hours after 1t was taken from
the water a stick was placed in the
sharks mouth and very noticeable
teeth prints found.
The other had to be stabbed in the
mouth several times before 1t died.
It was then taken to the yard adjoin-
ing the Bayside Hotel, on Broad
street, where it was seen by many
people of the vicinity and others
from miles around.
1t has been frequently reported on
previous occasions that sharks were
about in the local waters and the
catching of the two big fish proves
that they were not fish stories" This
confirmation of the fishy reports will
not increase the number of bathers
in this city, it is officially stated, for,
although there are many who claim
that they are not afraid Of sharke, 1t
is noticeable that they do not venture
very far from shore.
Last season, after the shark scare,
nets were placed at various points In
the water, in back of the Fl. A. Young
residence, Oakwood Park section and
off the yacht club for the protection
of bathers. 1t was decided earlier in
the season to place a net off the
yacht club this year, but 1t was later
decided that nets were unnecessary;
1t is expected that the yacht club
officials will now reconsider.
