Million Pounds In Year
MELBOURNE, Friday.— In 29 years
26,214,502 lb. (nearly 11,703 tons) of Mur-
ray cod has been eaten by the people of
Melbourne. The Superintendent of Markets
(Mr. G. B. Minns) included these.figures
in a statement he made today pointing
out that the supply was declining.
In 1918, the peak year, 2,229,024 lb. of
cod was received at the market but since
1921, when 1,101,520 lb. was sent to Mel-
bourne, the supply has decreased.
Last year it was only 551,040 lb.
Christopher Cameron Maher, charged in
the Adelaide Police Court yesterday with
having attempted to commit suicide, told
the constable who arrested him. "I have
been a bit distressed through being out
of work so long, and I gave my throat
a bit of a nick to settle things". Maher
was bound over to keep the peace for six
months.
