way network on q o0-l0 basis
The appointments were for
fiscal years 1857 through 1859.

the last apportionment.
But Federal Highway Ad-
ministrator Bertram d. Tallamy
told the Senate subcommittee
last week that 1t now appears
the final apportionment could
not be made until 1912.
He said this was because q
pay-as-you-go principle writ
ten into the 1856 law would
force his agency to hold APP
portionments through the le60s
well below the sums authorized

Ocean city's First Marlin on Schedule
A NJ D

Ocean City's first white mar
lin of the season, boated Satur-
day by a Delaware fisherman,
was pretty much on schedule.
In past years the first marlin
has been caught between June
20 and July / with only a few
exceptions. The earliest re-
corded was in 1899 when the
first one was taken on June l6.
The latest was July 20, 1910.
Last year it was June 10.
This seasons first fish was
caught by Howard T. Waller of
Delmar. DEL. near the famous
Jack Spot.
Waller was fishing from his
own boat, the Amy How, when
he hooked the marlin about
II pm. 1t took "a minutes
to land the 7-foot 5-inch, 70
pound fish on 30-pound line.
With him on the Amy How,
skippered by Capt. Bill Lilliston
was Leo Frederick Of Miami.
Waller had sighted a marlin
"wednesday. but the fish failed
to take the bait. He caught
six last year.
Last season, 1852 marlin
were taken of Ocean City after
q slow start. The record is 1910,
boated In 1855.
