Capt John Gibson of the Fish Vessel Owners association warns Seattle's independent halibut fleet will vanish unless the port commission builds a proposed cold storage plant. He argues 60 000 bond financing is needed and that private interests keep prices low, harming fishermen who must sell at a loss without storage. Fifty or more Seattle schooners rely on the fleet and taxpaying fishermen fear continued losses without the facility.
