Ameri- can boats had in marketing here through Ihe United Stales tariir of 2c on Canadian halibut. Employed fishermen, on the other hand, did not favor closing the port, in view of the fact thai Ihey could follow their calling on either Canadian, or American boat and by ctiltius out (be laller Ihey might be deprived of a livelihood. Businessmen were also against closing the port, although Ihey felt that American fishermen, afforded Ihe shipping privileges offered here, should be compelled lo disburse some! of their earnings al the port in Ihe mailer of outfitting, elc. One point, however, on which there seemed lo be unanimous agreement w;as that there should be reciprocity between United Slates and Canada and that halibut tariffs on Ijoth sides should be wiped out. Here, it was conceded by all, was Hie crux or the Mayor Newton, in opening' Ihe meeting and explaining why the gathering had been called, urged Ihe adoption of a united front in order In make representations to the authorities more effective. If improvements were to be brought about it would be necessary to receive the suggestions of those with practical experience. There had been loo much diversity of opinion and loo little co-operation in the past on account of selfish interests.
