 Will Pool Catches
 All the fish of one grade in one fishing area, of which there will be three, as above listed, will be pooled, and the whole catch will be sold to the highest bidder in the open market. After ex- penses and the commission are de- ducted, the remainder will be passed on to the fishermen on a pro rata basis.
 450 Signers Already
 More than 450 trollers of South east Alaska are said to have signed the agreement already, with a meeting yet to be held at Craig, where MT. Einstoss will go next. Almost unanimous favor was re- ported to have resulted from meetings held already at Sitka, Port Alexander, Pole Anchorage, and Ketchikan.
 Of the 28 Juneau members pres ent at yesterdays meeting, 25 are claimed to have signed before the day was out.

OF MATERIAL, PROJECTS
ARE WELL ADVANCED

Work is progressing in a most
encouraging manner on all Civil
Works Administration projects in
Monroe county, w. w. Demeritt,
director, told The Citizen when
asked what was the situation.
Considering the delays due to
lack of material, he said, satisfac-
tory advances have been made and
he can see no foundation for com.
plants from any source.
Practically all Of the founda.
tion for the walls ofsthe Key West
Aquarium has been poured and
work on the walls is expected next
week.
While it is not expected all OF
the projects will be completed
within the time limit specified
February Is, it is believed thai
but little more time will be re
quired and officials are sanguint
that this will be granted, especial
ly in the case of almost complet
ed projects.
1t is believed, from the tenor Of
