Six million Old fishing boat hulks which clutter up the lnnlr tide flats at Cow Bay are to be removed. The unsightly abandoned craft were subject of discussion by city council last night when Alderman Nora Arnold said that thetf number left no room for fishermen to bring their boats to that area for repair. "Surely there Is some way we could get those things out of there," she appealed. There's a way all right," Ald erman Rudderham rejoined. "In 1930 we got an order from the Harbor Master and burned them." Council requested City Clerk H. D. Thaln to'contactt Harbor Master Capt. J. R. Elfert for authority to destroy or remove the present crop of hulks. Paragon Lands 200,000 Pounds In Two Trips Skipper Pete Jacobsen's 87- foot halibut schooner Paragon, which arrived here Sunday with 100.C0O pounds of halibut -aboard, probably has done something that no other vessel has done In Prince Rupert in recent years. She unloaded 200,000 pounds of halibut here In two consecutive arrivals. However, the Seattle vessel didn't do it all in one season. Her arrival here on Sunday was her first since she brought In 100,000 pounds from Area Three last August 19. The big schooner landed her other cargoes at Ketchikan and Seattle. Her catch yesterday was sold to Pacific, Atlln and B.C. Packers.

"They deserve to .be compli i Various Parts of mented on the careful way they handle the garbage. They don't spill lt and scatter it on the sidewalk the way lt used to be done," she said. Alderman Brett poit in an ap peal for the garbage department. "I, think thqy should have more, co-operation from the citizens," he declared. "The way some 'garbage is brought out to the street makes it hard for the collectors." Earlier, council endorsed a move by the1 utilities committee requesting Sanitary Insipcctor M. J.

It is expected a seat will be; opened for, him. The result of the service vote left the Liberal total unchanged with- two gains and two losses; Progressive Conservatives with a net loss of one seat, and the C.C.F. wltli a gain of one addl-tlonal previously unconceded seat which was placed in the In.n.F. column. Two Liberal gains through the service vote came in Colchester-Hants, Nova Scotia, and Victoria, British Columbia. Robert May-hew won out after aU over Sir Henry Drayton. The standing of the- three leading parties is: Liberal 119 Progressive Cons 65 C.C.F. 28 In addition there are seven Independent Liberals and three Independents who are expected to give general support to the,. ment to count on a possible total of 129 In a 245-member house. On the whole the service vote was not broken down to indicate separately the yote overseas and' In Canada, but lt showed a trend similar to the civilian vote as between Liberal and Progressive Conservative parties but a stronger vote for the C.C.F. al though only one change-over to the C.C.F. was effected.
