The week's total raises to 13,600,500 pounds the total halibut sold in Prince Rupert this season. Arriving here tilts week were nine American I boats, unloading their cargoes before sailing to Seattle. Their catches totalled 388,000 pounds. Three Canadian halibut boats brought hi 133.C00 pounds. Although most of the halibut boats which fished in Area Three have returned to port since the closing of the season at mid-night .Monday, a few still remain out.

However, it is believed likely that they may have continued on to Vancouver to sell their catches there. The Vancouver boat Sea Ranger was reported to have sokl 50100 pounds at Sitka yesterday, getting the American price. Although Canadian boats selling at American ports must pay a cent a pound duty, the difference in American and Canadian prices make It worthwhile. ; While in the city tills week hi the course of one of his official tours on busines.5 In con-rcetlon with a rather extensive cfoaram of federal public works having to do -with wharves and lloats in various parts of the iHiiMnHRnflai!

It needs a sharp increase In its labor force, which has dropped Trorn 15,000 to 3,000 In five decades as the use of tiles for roofing gained in popularity. But there is no guarantee that the post-war business surge will continue. All rooting slates arc allotted by government order toevery ton of finished slate and repair work, with tiles used for all building. When war damage I Is restored, quarrying will prob ably fall off. To look Into the situation, Works Minister Tomlinson appointed a "working committee" representative of employers, la bor, and government departments. Unless new uses for slat can be dlscovorcd many quarries face closure and the pockets of unemployment which appeared In slate towns before the war may again become -a problem. In 1912, 361,000 tons of slate were used by British builders and only 200.000 tons of tiles. By 1935, when construction was much more active, the slate figure had dropped to 271,000 tons while tiles were up to U00.0O0. Despite the .obvious trend, quarry owners are optlmlstl?. They say rising coal costs will Increase the price of concrete and clay tiles and help bring slates back to popularity. They claim, however, tliat some government protection should be given their industry.

AID QUARRIES i tewUi When the working committee held its first meetings here, they argued that because their Industry, undtjr works ministry control, was sacrificing all contracts for new work, It should be given assurance that slate will later be used on a proportion of new homes built under the state's rehousing program. Suggestions have been made for establishment of a research centre to study new uses for slate and seek ways of using waste stone.
