Probably there would ‘be no new construction at all if the salmon industry| fafled to operate. Services of the Department of | Health would be reduced much more than the amount by which the Department's budget would have to be| trimmed by the Board of Administration, as the Fed-| eral Government matches Territorial funds which are | ‘furnished for many health activities.
