Petersburg Cold Storage Will Be
 Enlarged to Double Capacity Soon

material and equipment and ac
 tual construction work should be under way within ten days
 The new unit will be built, as fal
 as possible, with local labor. One
 new York compressor will b. added to the battery of ma hines now in use also an addi tional line of condensers, mak- ing it possible to handle 50,00O pounds of fish in the sharp freezers every 24 hours. Space for this equipment was provid,, ed in the original design of the building. The cost of the i'm proveemntS approximates $30,- 100 raised by sale of stock which was quickly over-SubScribed.
 The maturing of these plans has promoted an appreciable op- timism for the seasons outlook among the merchants and fish armen. It is pointed out that his storage space still will be insufficient to take care of the fish from the boats of this port. many of which have formerly marketed their fares in Ketchi- kan and Prince Rupert on ac- count of price differential. it is now contemplated that all association buyers at Ketchikan, Petersburg, Juneau and Sitka will pay 9-6 on delivery with an additional pro-rated profit sharing cut at the end of the season. This pricing system will save the fishermen many days of fishing time and much motor fuel.
