The substantial gangway should last many years. Peak of the sockeye salmon run is now passed on the Naas and Skeena rivers and one of the poorest sockeye seasons in recent years Is nearlng its close. Highest daily catches on the Skeena were about 65 fish on a recent week-end and the catchers in the last few days have been considerably less. Thursday's average per boat on both rivers was 20 fish. Bad weather during a large part of the sockeye run did much to reduce the catches. Salmon seining in the portion of the Prince Ru pert fisheries district has been improving during the last few days, it ls reported. The power launch of H.M.C.S. Crescent will lead the Port Day aquatic parade and will carry the Port Queen, according to ar rangements which have been made between Lieut.

The purchase offer by the' city was for the "complete Installation," Mayor Daggett told the meeting. Mayor Daggett and City Engineer E. A. Phillips had been authorized earlier to investigate War Assets offer to sell the pumps to the city and learned during their negotiations th? the power transmission lines and transformers were not Included with the mumps. , City Engineer Phillips said a recent test had proved that the pumps could maintafii a normal flow of water Into the city's storage resercolr by operating 10 hours daily Instead of on the KA-hour basis which has been in effect since the pumps were in stalled during the war. Cost of operating the pumps on a 24-hour basis rs about $700 a month, City Electrical Inspector Fred Kempton told the alder-men during a report on the costs of replacing the power lines owned by Highway Construction. Alderman Hills suggested that the pumps be shut down completely for a two-wee!' test period to determine if present requirements justify the pumo being in operation under normal -olid i Hons at all. City Engineer Phillips said that, without a test, he was unable to tell whether or not the pumps are required but he felt that the city should posstess them in case of emergency. "We may need the pumps to get water into the city mains in case of a breakdown. That is the only reason I favor Having the pumps at all," he said. "I think we should have them as a standby-" Their purchase by the city remains under negotiation.
