FISH SHORTAGE DISCUSSED BY C. OF . TODAY Petersburg Chamber’s Resolution on Herring Situation Reviewed A resolution from the Peters burg Commercial Club asking for co-operation from the Junean| Chamber of Commerce in ving at a definite st on the ques tion of alleged waste of herring in the manufacture of the fish for meal and oil, was read by Secretary Frank A. Boyle at thel weekly meeting of the local Cham- ber at moon today. The resolution suggested that each chamber in the southeastern Alaska district appoint a member tc meet after the close of the halibut season to discuss ‘he mal- ter, and then, if possible, send a man to Washington, D. C. bring the question before Con gress. The Petersburg club con- tends that the use of herring for the manufacture of the meal a waste that is rapidly creatinz @ serious shortage and thus ham- pering tha industry. On this point C. T. Gardner. member of the Executive Commit- tee and acting chairman, declared that it is a mistake to call th» herring meal “fertilizer.” “The largest percentage of the meal manufactured is used as a food product and not as a fertilizer,” Mr. Gardner said. “Furthermore the best grade of herring is mild cured or Scotch cured and on'y the poorer grades of fish are converted into meal.” | Plants Don’t Wast J. B. Caro, who recently visited a number of reduction plants} in southeastern Alaska, said tha: as far as he was able to deter- mine there appeared to be prac- tically no waste at these plants, most of them being quite clein He added that because theve plants represent a large inve:t ment and no hasty action should be taken but should be cara(ullyl considered. ) At the last session of the Ter- ritorial Legislature ar act placing a tax on the use of herring for the manufacture of oil and meal was turned down, thus showing the legislators’ attitude, it was pointed out. A communication from the Al | aska Weekly in Seattle was re ceived asking for photographs, sto- ries, or both, featuring any op- rortunities for industrial develop- ments in this distriet, to be used in putting out their annual year| book. The letter also asked for, subscriptions to the annual. Letter From Japan | From Osaka, Japan, was a com munication from a party who de | sired to get in touch with a pho.o, dealer.

Alaska is a country that is little known to the Japanese, ac- cording to the letter. That the Alaska Road Commis gion will be in a position wo ask for an appropriation to dredge a channel over the bar was the opinion set forth by Allen Shat- tuck, of the local Industries Com- mittee. It was reported that sul-| ficient witnesees were produced at a meeting held on September 6 by Major D. N. Gillette, to give him all the information and test- imony needed to present the case at the next session of Congress, which will come in.
