CITY COUNCIL IN
SHORT SESSION
ONLY ROUTINE MATTERS HAND.
LED-w. C. ANDERSON TELLS
OF HIS GRIEVANCES.

The City Council met in regular
session last night. Those present
were Mayor Hopkins and Aldermen
Cook, Abrams, Jones, Leybourne. Rob
erts and McKinnon. There was very
little business before the body and
only routine matters were handled
The committee on fire and building
permits reported favorably on the re-
quest of the Branch Pharmacy to re-
move a gasoline tank on Gloucester
street, provided the work was done
under the direction of the city en-
gineer
Reports were received from the city
marshal, the city treasurer and the
city clerk, all of which were ordered
to take the usual course
At this stage of the meeting the
privilege of the floor was granted to
w. c. Anderson and for more than
an hour Mr. Anderson complained of
pretty near everything imaginable
He claims that he has been made q
target of by the police department.
and cited all sorts of incidents to sus-
tain the charges. He lectured and
criticized and for very near an hour
told of the hardships which he claims
have been heaped upon his shoulders
1t seems that his main grievance is
due to the fact that on several oc-
casions he has been arrested, charged
with violating the traffic laws of the
city. When he resumed his seat May-
or Hopkins and Alderman Jones, each
made short talks, in which both of
these officials took issue with the
speaker.
Some forty or fifty citizens were
present at the meeting.

HUGH CONTRACTS

lieved the catches of migatory fish
will be increased greatly at once.
The shad season in this territory
does not open until early in January.
The schooners operating for snapper
and grouper go far to sea after their
prizes and these will hardly be af
fected by the new law Generally
speaking, it is said the greatest
crease will be in whiting, trout, and
bass in this section.
The Official Bulletin, issued at
Washington, says of the plan in part:
This action followed the approval
by the food administrator of'the re-
concentrations of conference held
at Washington by DR.. Hugh M. Smith,
United States commissioner of fish
cries; A. L. Millett, commissioner on
fisheries for Massachusetts, sent to
represent the governor of his state;
Gardner Poole, representing the fish
industries of Boston; and Kenneth
Fowler, chief of the fisheries section
of the food administration.
After the conference the food ad-
ministrator wired Henry B. Endicott,
federal food administrator for Massa-
chusetts, urging him to lay the mat
ter at once before Governor Mccall.
In this he was aided by Millett and
Poole, who went Immediately to Bos-
ton. The governor was not at home,
but Lieut.. Gov. Coolidge, acting in his
stead, at once acceded to the request
and notified all local authorities to
issue proper permits immediately.
The food administrator has sent
kilograms to the federal food admin
istrators in all the salt water states,
recommending like action on their
part. Data in the hands of the COM
mittees that met at Washington show
that the seasons catch has been from
25 to so per cent below normal in
various parts of the country, con-
dition causing alarm at a time when
substitute for meat, as a war meas
ure, is vitally necessary.

AMERICAN SHIP SINKS TWO GERMAN SUBS
new METHOD
CURING HERRING

At the Chamber of Commerce un-
cheon given yesterday the chief topic
of interest under discussion was the
herring fishing industry
The Scotch cure method Of packing
herring was discussed by several Of
the speakers, who have been watching
the process as taught by Mr. Stod-
.dard, Of the Bureau of Fisheries, who
has been sent to Alaska by the De
partment for the purpose of teaching
this method of curing herring.
In this matter the Bureau is render
ing a noble service, not only to Alas
ka, but to the entire nation. The
work Of Mr.. Stoddard, their represen-
tative, is a high test to the efficiency
of the Department. His untiring eff
forts in this field has aroused a keen
interest in the industry and the out
put this year bids fair to be ten times
as great as that Of last year.
At Kachemak Bay, where there was
a few hundred barrels put up last
year. there will be over ten thousand
barrels this year.
Mr.. Stoddard said among other
good things that fright here in Alas
kan waters there are more herring
than there are pebbles on the beach.
Further, he said that off the coast Of
Scotland in two weeks time three mil
lion herring were caught, cured and
packed. The herring industry has
been entirely overlooked in the past
hut in the not far distant future the
herring will be one Of Alaska's chief
exports
