Tuna Pack Increases In 1947 Seven Months
Long Beach Los Angeles Harbor and San Diego tuna pack totals for January through July 1947 rise to 3,351,177 cases, up from 2,646,018 in the same period of 1946. The Long Beach area reports 1,317,685 cases, slightly below last year due to bluefin absence. San Diego shows a 406,418 year-on-year rise. Mackerel packs climb 164,133 cases to 218,876, while overall Southern California gains 335,177 cases. Coal loading through the harbor by Great Lakes Carbon Co. moves 9,200 tons to the Norwegian freighter Livia, with Italy as a destination, and other cargo traffic includes the William Leavitt and Shapur. Plans at Pacific Electric Freight show coal movement 800–1200 carloads monthly.
