GENERAL FUND

TALLAHASSEE, Jan. 25. -
(FNS) Continuing their response
to Comptroller J. M Lees collec-
ton drive launched early last
Fall, estate tax payers have
poured 100000 into the states
general fund the past so days.
These receipts, coupled with
somewhat heavier license collec-
tons, have made it possible for
the comptroller to pay up more
than a half-million dollars of the
general revenue funds deficit
this month, cleaning up all bills
received in the comptroller's of
flee prior to September 1st.
This leaves the general revenue
fund deficit at $1,341, 900.
While most of the estate tax
payments were small items, some
of them being advances by the
taxpayers anxious to help the
state in its emergency, there were
several large items, including one
payment of S230,0ll, another of
Sl04,719 and several running
$4,000 to $4,000.

BATTLE GIVEN
 BY HUGE SHARK

PASSPORT, Me, Sept. 7.--The feature event of the sardine fishing season in the Passamaquoddy Bay area took place at Harbor de rOutre, Campobello, when a thirty foot shark was taken from a weir by fishermen after battle lasting sev- eral hours. It is believed that the shark followed herring into the har- bor.
 Unprepared for such an emer- gency, boatmen and their workers attacked the shark with hay scythe and boat hook, and succeeded after great effort in taking a half-hitch about it's tail with a stout rope. The rope parted under the strain as the shark lunged about and a larger rope was obtained. Finally, the shark, weakened by loss of blood from wounds inflicted by the scythe and boat hook, gave up the struggle and was taken ashore.
 The immense liver of the shark, filling three oil barrels, is now being processed by Deer Island concern with the expectation of extracting approximately 100 gallons of oil.
