After their occupation of the city, the insurgents had to repair or replace the structures to continue their campaign. Here is one of the boat bridges they

UNREMUNERATIVE TOIL

Discussing the financial condition of the industry, the Board records that gross earning per vessel should exceed £2,200 if the vessel is to pay its way. In the past two years aver- Ingo gross takings of English vessels were £2,487, and of Scottish vessels £1,493. While English vessels just paid their way, those of Scottish ports were very far from doing so. English crews last year received on 13 overage £47 7s, each for weeks' work, and Saottish crews £21 03. per man for 82 weeks' work.

Last year's catch was 24 per cent. sinaller than that of 1935-1,533,026 crans compared with 1,572,360 crans, Gross revenue was £22,400,000
