The resolution. forwarded to
President Charles I. Stengle by
Carl c. Berger, will be presented

The resolution asks the conven-

would curtail the activities of the
General Accounting Office, cost
its independence or tend to re-
duce the number of its employees"
1t also was requested that the

more than $4,000.
A commission spokesman ex.
planned basis for refusal of the
Clayton petition probably would
be his failure to file the request
prior to the hearing, in order that
the company might have due
notice of his intentions.
FINAL DECISION TUESDAY
Because the excess will not
amount to much over $4,000 in
all events, the nuisance" charge
eraSure was chosen as a likely
method of distribution. These
charges are tackled onto numerous
clasSificationS of service. Among
them is the 75-cent minimum for
each meter connection, even in
large apartment houses, where
scores of customers might dwell.
Formal decision on these and other
matters taken up at the Wednes-

His shape is somewhat like that of
mackerel and from tip to snout he is
built on racing lines He is the per-

grace, but in spite of that his huge
staring eyes and his upper jaw. and
snout which are prolonged into a
double-edged sword give him a for
midable appearance. believe that he

sword fishing was carried on in the
Strait of Messina as it is today On
calm days the fish loves to loaf at the
surface and bask in the sunlight. Thus
he can be seen from the masthead of a
vessel at distance of two or three
miles Strangely enough, a basking
swordfsh shows little or no fear of
bucking, plunging schooner but it
seems to dread a small boat. So the
harpooning is done from the bowsprit
of schooner and the fish is finished
off from dory.
Why does the swordfsh attack the
boats? Apparently the attacks usually
occur when the killing lance strikes the
fish in the head or in the spinal column
near the head. Then the swordfish
seems to 60 crazy and dashes madly at
the nearest object.
