Many interesting sights are to
be seen at the local fish markets
between 4 and 6 o'clock when
the fishing boats return with
their days catches.
Wednesday, for instance, one
boat went out after grouper.
Hundreds of pounds of black
grouper were brought in with
nearly all the catches made in
one spot, the fishermen report.
Surprise of the day, however,
was sighting large jewish. The
fishermen quickly baited their
Jewish line and with the strike
and all hands hauling at the
line, they brought to boat a $50
pounds brown Jewish. It was
soon killed by the spike.
The fishermen never reveal
where they make their catches,
but it is to be presumed that it
was made near the big reefs as
grouper and Jewish usually
hangout in those spots.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. March
24.-Although fiftY-eight million
pounds more of fish were Caught
in Florida waters during 1897
than the preceding year. the
value of the catch was $4,000
less. the Bureau of Fisheries re-
ported TO the Census Bureau TO-
day.
Gross catch for the state in
1897 was 232.175,4OO pounds. with
a value of $5,O5O,98O. Included IN

BRINGS in BIG CROUPER CATCH;
Aquarium Gets Baby Tarpon, Shook And Ten Founder
WHITEHEAD FISHERS SAY FEW CONCHS

long and others eight to ten, were
all placed in the Aquarium where
they will soon grow to the size
of the others in there now, which
are about two feet long. One
tarpon has no tail, still can swim
very well. Romero explains that
snakes often attack the baby tar
pom in the shallow ponds. When
first thrown into the tanks the
afish lie on the bottom gasping for
air and water since they have
been accustomed to the water in
the dinghey in which they are
brought back. Soon, however,
they straighten out and feel
better.
Colored conch fishermen off
Whitehead street report that
there are few conchs left on the
bars off the rocky shore there.
They say they have to go nearly
all the way to Boca Chica or to
the islands to the west. One
colored fisherman is planning to
get an cupboard motor, which will
be quite different from the years
of pulling on huge sculling oars
with the hefty muscles of those
fishermen. But, time marches on,
and it may be that the fish and
shellfish are getting fewer.

Moreno Reviews Work Done
On Water And Sewer System
"a Miles OF Pipeline Laid;
System Nearly Ready For
Operation; Explains Ac-
tivities

SOIllpleIlOH Vi tile Sewer SyS-
tenn to make it available for
. operation means that the No. /
disposal plant at the corner of
Catherine and Thomas must be
connected electrically and an
operator appointed by the city,
the completion of the outfall
from the No. 2 plant on Grinnell
street, electrical connection and
the completion of filter beds, be-
sides the connecting of the
sewer system with residences by
the residents, B. Curry Moreno,
W.P.A. Area supervisor an
nounceS to The Citizen.
Twenty-four miles of sewer
pipe line connecting all inhabited
areas of the city are ready to be
placed in operation. The sewer
lines are arranged on gravity
flow. No. l disposal station is
Is feet deep and No. 2 % feet
deep. Sewer pipe ranges in size
from six to SO inches in diameter.
Water for the system is supplied
from deep salt water wells sunk
in Jackson Square and supplied
through the municipal water
works plant. However, it is ex-
pected that most residents will
use their own wells for running
water from house connections to
sewer connections.
Sewage passes through screen
chamber at disposal plant which
screens out foreign substances
such as rocks, etc. Then it passes
to the stump where it is picked up
by two five inch centrifugal cleo
trio drive pumps working inter-
mittently and controlled by a
float in the stump and electric
connections through contact
switches at each pump. One
pump is to be I run just as
long as the capacity is not over
taxed. When the load becomes
too great the second pump will
be cut in.
Then the substances go into
modified Emhoff tanks where
digestion is started by anerobic
bacteria which break down the
solids and turns the sewage into
sludge. The water is then drawn
off through the outfall sewer by
gravity. The sludge runs out
through filter, beds, is odorless,
has quite a commercial value as
fertilizer and may be used as
such or hauled away and burned
at the discretion of the city.
There are some alleys and
other streets in which there are
no sewer pipes laid but these can
be added to the present system
at any time without interfering
with the operation of the main
plant.
In connection with the sewer
system there has also been in
stalled a water system with pipe
lines laid in the same tunnel as
the sewer linesss This will be
the fire protection system to be
used by the city. There are III
hydrants installed in this system,
which are considerable more than
are in the old system. Later, ii
Key West gets a fresh water pipe
line from the-mainland the water
will be used for drinking water
and also for fire protection. The
Florida Keys Aqueduct Commits
sion is working on P.W.A. loan
and grant to finance the fresh
water line here.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 21.-Arctic
cold ranging to Is degrees below
zero is congealing both the oil of
Soviet Russia's war machine in the
Far North and, in part, the 24-hour
battle-schedule ordered apparently
as birthday present" for Joseph
Stain.
Finnish circles welcomed the news
from above the Arctic Circle that
violent storms had set in. One re-
port from Norwegian quarters was
that more than 200 Russian tanks
in Northern sectors were stalled by
temperatures almost solidifying the
oil in their crankcases.
The invaders were said to have
been hardest hit south of Kirkenes

Finnish frontier. paralyzed by cold

brought with them on their drive

which the Red forces in the Far
North were largely dependent for
supplies.
The Svanvik dispatches said the
Russians had been stopped 80 miles
south of Salmijarvi. This would be
in the region of the Films "Lapland
Mannerheim Line" on which they
counted to defend Northern Fin
land.
From the more active fronts, in
the Karelian Isthmus and in Gen.
trail Finland, Finnish officers re-
ported that in dead and prisoners
the Firms were inf1icting so times
as much damage on the Russians as
the Firms were suffering.
Firms regarded it extremely likely
that the Russians would make an
extraordinary effort to observe
Stains birthday today-the twenty
second day of the WARMTH some
concrete military success. Many
thought this might be a repetition
of mass air raids such as those in
which 200 planes raked Finland two
days ago.
Intelligence agents were credited
with the word that originally cap
ture Of Helsinki was to have been a

But the Firms upet any such CAL
culation with their surprising resist
ance and today, according to Fin
nish sources, the invaders still had
not made contact with the Manner

in the karelian Isthmus.

bors took form with appointment of
