FANCY QUALITY SALMON PACK SHORT ON SOUND, COLUMBIA RIV

Salmon eanners on Puget Sound and on the Columbia River report that the salmon have not appeared in any quantity yet tins summer, bat good runs may develop during Au- gust. Indications are that the pack of fancy quality salmon in boTb these districts will be short.
 The total pack to July 30th OH Puget Sound is estimated at 35,O00 cases, all grades. This pack has been mostly in half pound cans. The pink run inside was not due until after the first of August, but the run out side at Neah Bay has been quite small so far. It is reported to be improving, however. The pack of sockeyes is estimated at approXimae- ely Is percent of the pack on the same cycle four years ago, although, .12,OOO sockeyes were caught at Pt. Roberts on July 28th. This was the first appearance of sockeyes in quan- tity, and the run has since faded out. These fish are believed to have come down Johnson Straits and to have passed by the entrance to Fra ser River.
 There has been a small pack of echoes outside Cape Flaherty thus far. This pack has all been put up in flats and halves The light pack of echoes in Alaska to date indicates that this species will be definitely short this year.

Small Size

Puget Sound Sockeyes have been small in size this year, but pack CTS state that the color and oil con- tent has been exceptionally good.

Pinks have been running fairly small in size. This year the fisher, men have been paid on a poundage basis for the first time. Packers are buying soeKeyes at 10 one-fourth cents per pound and pinks at ? one fourth cents. Both packers and fish ermen are reported as pleased with the new pricing arrangements.
 Twelve eanneries with total o9 twenty-five lines are operating on the Sound this year, giving daily canning capacity of about 50,00O cases. 1t is estimated that at the peak of the run. approximately 22O purse seiners will be fishing,
 Short Chinook Run
 While one Columbia River pacKet reports that conditions outside the river mouth are ideal, with plenty Of feed, and good weather, the Chinook run is exceptionally short One pack CT with more than fifteen years on the river says that with the eXcep- tion of the first five days of the sea- son. this has been the poorest year in his memory. Neither trollers nor ! gill netters have been getting fish in that district. May was a poor month on the Columbia and June was exceptionally bad. July this year has shown some improvement, but the last few days were very slack.
 Gillnetters on the Columbia report the water has had a large amount Iof moss or algae which has been coating the nets, making it neces- sary for fishermen to take their nets out of water for washing and drying since the moss has made the nets visible to the fish.
 Season Late
 Failure of the salmon to appear in any number thus far is leading packers to believe that the season generally is about one month late. As there are still several weeks of ! fishing left, a normal size pack on 1 Puget Sound and fair Columbia River pack are still possible, packers point out. Past experience, however, has shown that fish caught late in | the season are not of as good quaj- 1 ity as the early runs. Reports 1re current that it will not be possible to fill all orders booked for fancy grade Columbia River Chinook.

Washington must have more police

told the Mount Pleasant Citizens As
sociation at the Mount Pleasant

Group action to provide recreation

STATE AID CERTAIN
FOR MONTGOMERY
County to Get Proportionate
Share of Legislatures
Appropriation.

Montgomery County will share pro-
portionately with other counties in
the State In whatever appropriation
the Maryland Legislature makes for
the Board of State Aid and Charity
for the coming year, J. Milton Pat
terson, executive secretary, said to-
day.
Patterson, here from Baltimore to
attend regional meeting of State
directors of the Social Security Board
at the Washington Hotel, explained
that provision had been made for
Montgomery County, when no esti-
mates were received by the time the
State boards budget was sent to the
Legislature in January
The State board made q tentative
estimate of Montgomery County's
needs, based on funds allotted last
year, and If the Legislature approves
the budget as submitted the county
will get the entire amount set aside
for it in the budget, approximately
10000. Patterson explained
IF the budget is pared, allotments
for Montgomery County will be re-
duced the same as all other counties
in the State" he stated The State
board will treat all counties alike"
The budget for the entire State
totaled s10869, 900, Of which s3,453,-
900 is to come from the Federal Gov
eminent, SCAT 900 from the State
and s943 900 from the individual coun-
ties, according to Patterson.
This sum will provide old-age pen
sions for $4,000, aid for 81 900 depend
ent children. aid for TOO blind per-
sons, general public assistance to
45o0 unemployables and general pub
lie assistance to 2,084 employables and
partial unemployables, according to
budget estimates.
Should the Legislature cut indi-
vidual items, each county's allotment
for that item will be reduced propor-
tionately, and the same reduction Will
be made in the event horizontal cut
is made, Patterson pointed out.

Although the vote was unanimous

LITTLE HOPE SEEN
FOR SCHOOL FUNDS
Prescott Gives Views on Re-

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 13.-Lit-
tie hope that Montgomery County viii
receive additional funds from the Leg.
islature to help solve its growing
school problems was held out today BY
Senator Stedman Prescott.
Prescott said he had not discussed
the question with Frank H. Karn
president OF the County Board. who
suggested making a request for spe.
cial aid from the Legislature because
If the unusual increase in the school
population in the county.
The question is of Statewide inter-
est, however, and would have to be
considered in view Of the needs Of ali
counties before any increase in State
aid could be secured, Prescott ex-
planned. He stated:
While it Is true that the needs
Of Montgomery County have increased
more than other counties because Of
the rapid growth in this section dur
ing the last few years. other counties
are faced with much the same prob
lem, even if in lesser degree. A
general revision of county allotments
would have TO be made before such
proposal could expect to receive
Statewide support
Time Held Too Short.
Il am in favor Of such a revision
but l do not believe it can be accom-
plShed in the short time remaining
before the current session ends. Fur
thermore, it is big problem and can't
be settled with week or two Of dis
cusSion"
With the possibility of tapping State
revenues eliminated, the county board
was faced with the problem of meet
Ing new construction needs estimated
between s500,000 and 100000, de-
mands for salary increases for teach
ers totaling 100000 or more, in ad-
dition to paying interest and, if DOS
sible, principal on school bonds.
The financial puzzle afforded by the
county's schools is the result of at
tempts to provide facilities for a rap
Idly growing school population, and to
establish high standards comparable
TO those afforded in the District
The school enrolment from 1882 to
1886 rose from l0,50O to l2,7oo, or
1900 pupils. The estimated increase
for the next years, however, is 1900
pupils, which means additional teach
ers and school rooms, and In some sec
tions new schools.
Would Vnwer EH6ct>r.r
The increase might be taken care Of
with minimum Of expenditure by
croWding pupils and enlarging the size
OF classes, but that would lower the
efficiency Of the teachers and eventu-
ally the standard Of instruction, a
complete reversal Of the policy Of rails
ing the standard to approximate that
of the District.
The State aid fund has remained
practically constant during the last
four years, at slightly more than $780,
600, while the county budget for
schools had risen from s484,000 to
1854, 900 during the same period. The
State aid Is determined by school pop
ulation, but Is based on minimum
standards. Counties which provide
facilities above the State minimum, as
does Montgomery County, receive no
additional credit on that account. All

sustain with ease the Statue of Lib

three months he has been counting

More serious and important for the
