F.
J.
Kwspil,
managing
director
of
the
United
Tacific
Fisheries,
stated
this
afternoon
that
halibut
boat
owners
and
fishermen
were
signing
up
100
on
a
new
method
of
marketing

and
controlling
of
production
which
he
has
submitted
to
them
since
his

have
the
new
system
of
handling
halibut
go
into
effect
about
June

Under
the
scheme
it
is
planned
to
maintain
a
minimum
advance
to
fishermen
of
Cc
and
3c
per
pound,
any
proceeds
over
to
be
divided
co-operatively.
It
Is
the
plan
to
limit
the
production
to
fresh
halibut
only.
.
Now
that
the
scheme
has
been
accepted
by
the
boat
owners
and
fishermen
of
Trine

Mr.
Kwapil
will
be
leaving
here
tonight
to
