 IN GREECE ASKED
Mass Meeting in Athens Adopts
 Resolutions

Athens, Aug. 26 LP - A huge mass meeting held in Constitution square has passed resolution de- manding that there shall be CO., alition cabinet in Greece. The chairman of the meeting, M. Had iikiakos, later presented the reso- lution to Admiral Coundouriotis, who has resumed his presidential powers. He told the president that the meeting had commissioned him to say that the people of Greece would repudiate any party leaders who obstructed the formation of coalition government, which it was believed alone could save the country from further catastropries.
 The spokesman added there were even some persons among the crowd prepared to lynch ob- structors of the demand. Admiral Coundouriotis replied that he fully shared the peoples desire, but that unfortunately there was little prospect of agreement between the political leaders.
 George Kafandaris, former premier; N. Papanastasion, leader of the democratic party and also former premier; General Metaxas. chief assistant to the general staff, and former Premier Michalako- poulos, assented to a coalition, but Constantine Demerdjis, former minister of marine, and M. Tsal- daris, former minister of commits sions, opposed it. Tsaldaris de- clared he would only agree if M. Demerdjis were made premier. in which case he himself would &C., cept the portfolio of war and ma rines,
 General Condylis, through whose coup the Pangalos government was busted, maintained that a coalition could only be formed under his premiership. All his efforts to move his opponents failed, and Admiral Coundouriotis thereupon announced that the only course was to entrust Condylis with the formation Of a business cabinet on condition that elections should be held not later than October.

SPAIN ASKS POWER
 IN TANGIER ZONE
(Continued from First Page)

istration of Tangier to Spain alone by direct action of the powers inter- ested or for the League of Nations to accord Spain a mandate.
 It was pointed out that the sultan of Morocco is an independant sov- ereign who alone is able to dele gate powers of administration over his territory. A protectorate was granted France by the sultan over all Morocco. France then came to an understanding with Spain as to the zone which would be attributed to her. It was recalled today that for the exercise of a protectorate, as far as the sultan is concerned, rests on France. The sultan and the French government, therefore, it is held. are the par ties with whom Spain must deal re- garding the zonn outside Tangier. As to the city itself the sultan, France and the powers interested in the agreement by which it was interna- tionalized may have their word in the matter but the question Is en- tirely outside the jurisdiction of the league.

PACIFIC CODFISH
 CATCH LARGE ONE
Aleutian Island Grounds Abound
 in Finny RaScalS

Anacortes, Wash, Aug. 26-After summer fogbound in the misty waters just south of the Aleutian Is- lands, the codfish fleet is coming home. With a catch of 250,000 cod, the schooner c. R. Wilson was the first to enter the strait, her tub shaped hull almost dipping water from sheer weight of cargo. Eleven other schooners, equally heavy la den. have reported by radio as near ing the home port.
 The season was a success in the number of cod caught. and the size ot the individual fish broke all rec ords and put quietus on all op- position to the closed season. Cod fishers this summer have made enough to afford 10 spend the winter months In leisure, if 1t Is so desired. Tn addition to a small salary, with board, each member of the crew. from captain down to deck boy, re- ceives a bonus per fish taken. The calious-isted linemen, who did the pulling h." took the cream of the reward.
 Here. on the docks and in the long rows of covered warehouses, men and women are starting six months labor in preparing the fish for the discriminating buyer for the family. The harvest of Alaskan codfish goes largely to the eastern states and to the European trade. The Far West never has exhibited much of an appetite for codfish, largely because of the great abund- snce at all seasons of salmon, hall but and other bod fish.
 Goldfish, once very heap food, has advanced with other food com nodities, Lut the demand keeps down any surplus, and each year the fishing fleet from here-the Gloucester of the west-increases in number and industry.

20 Cent Jump Valuation Oi
 Property up to "A Million

Springfield, Aug. 26 - The city's tax rate was announced yesterday by the board of assessors as s2S.- GO, an increase of 20 cents over 1925. City officials generally were pleased at the announcement as bearing out the prediction that there would be only a slight intia- ton in the rate despite the adop- tion by Mayor Fordis c. Parker of q pay-asEou-go policy and the avoidance of bond issues. Valua- tions mounted s14.12431O. the net gain from a boost of s14.769.300 in realty and a loss of s644.990 in personal. Total valuation Is set at sS03.350,510.
 Judicious handling of the ci'y's moneys. city officials say, has all most doubled the city's borrowing capacity and reduced it's bonded indebtedness by nearly s1,0O0,00G The borrowing capacity now stands at S1,264,01S against s57S,195 last year. Springfeld's net bonded in- debtedness exclusive of Sinking fund reserves, as of July 31, 1926, was $14,94S,0SS. The bonded in- debtedness as Of July 31. 1926, was S15,S50,272, the exact reduc- ton being s9o2,25S.
 "City Is Fortunate"
 City Auditor Clifford E. Cook last night pointed out that the tax rate of s2S.6o was exceptionally low as 1t includes the streets wa tering assessment which previously had been levied by a separate and special assessment. The city is fortunate" MT. Cook observed, Ito be able to have so low a tax rate. I believe that 1t will prove to be considerably under the average" The auditor said that he had ex- pected the tax rate would vary little from last year, this despite everything done this year being paid for in the tax levy.
 An excellent" rate, better than he expected, was the view of City Treasurer Eliphalet T. Tifft. MT. Tifft declared that Springfield had done first rate to hold the figure at s2S,6o. He said that many cities in the eastern part of the com monwealth exceeded S32-S33, and that the average for the state, in his opinion, would be around $50. The treasurer pointed out that the work the city has done in the past year has been permanent work such as the building of school houses which ran up to nearly half a million dollars. At the same time Mayor Parker has avoided bonding and Mir. Tifft said that it looks as if there would be no issues this year.
 Real Estate Values
 Total real estate this year amounts to $26S,S66,670, a gain of S14,769,300 over last year, when the sum was s254,097,370. Total personal property was fixed by the assessors at sS4,4SS,S4O a drop of s644,990 from the amount last year, which was s35,12S,S30.
