Goldstein was authorized in a resolution pass- ‘ed at the meeting of the City Council last evening. This appli- cation will be made by the Mayor as soon as the necessary approval by the voters has been obtained. Mayor Goldstein pointed out, at the meeting, that in case the loan is approved and granted, 30 per cent of the amount will be ab- sorbed by the Public Works Ad- ministration of the Federal Gov- ernment and the remaining 70 per cent, or $70,000 loaned at a 3 per cent rate of interest.

C., Nov. 4. — Delegate A. J. Dimond from Alaska yesterday re- sumed his fight against the proposed levy of a processing tax against all seafoods, in- cluding canned salmon when he vigorously protested against such action. He made his protest to George W. Peek, Administra- tor the Agricultural Ad- justment Administration at a hearing on the corn and hog situation. of No Action Taken During the hearings recently held it was suggested that processing texes be levied against any com- modities which could be cousidered as competing as food with pork. Seafoods were among those men- tioned At the Farm Administration headquarters it was said numerous commodities have been mentioned but that no action was taken on any of the suggested taxes. No concrete proposals were made to seafoods, it was reported Delegate Dimond has been join- ed in his fight for seafoods by Representative Bland, Democrat, of Virginia. The latt commenting on the statement that no concrete proposals were made as to a tax on seafoods, declared even the sug- gestion of a tax on them “seriously menaces the seafood industry.” Bell Says Unfair Frank T. Bell, United States Commissioner, leaving here for Se- attle to gather data for drafting the 1934 fishing regulations for Alas] and to discuss the sug- gested processing tax, declared it to be an unfair levy. He will discuss the matter with fishermen and packers while on the Pacific Coas He will meet Agent L. E. Win- gard and the Fisheries Wardens in Seattle and upon their reports will be based next year’'s regulations. He will also survey Puget Sound and Columbia River areas. Danger te Industry Classing the suggested processing tax as “unfair on its face,” Mr. Bell declared there are only two basic food sources—the soil and sea. “It would be preposterous for the sea- food producers to pay a processing tax to aid their chief competitors, the soil food producers. And, al- though the Agricultural Adjust- ment Administration has said that salmon were merely mentioned during the hearing on the corn and hog problem, even mentioning such a tax to aid pork warns of im- pending danger to the fishery in- dustry,” he said RUM RUNNERS BURN VESSEL Fired on by_C_oasl Guard, They Beach Craft, ‘ Set It Afire LAGUNA BEACH, Cal, Nov. 4— |A 100,000-case cargo of liquor from hich only 36 cases were salvaged, {burned when rum runners were fir- ‘Ied upon with a machine gun from |a Coast Guard cutter.
