Sardine factory owners at East
port have reached a decision not to
pack any more fish taken from Dark
Harbor. Grand Manan. The reason
for this action is that the fish COM
ing from that place are too thin

duce a satisfactory pack that the
overhead expenses are increased and
the profits reduced. Dark Harbor is
nearly landlocked, and as ii contains
no suitable food for the herring, after
they have been there few days they
become skinny. Inasmuch as Dark
Harbor has been the chief source of
supply this spring. the step taken by
the packers means that there will be
less work for the people Whereabouts.
