REPORT ON SARDINE CANNERIES, 1926-27 



The first canning operations in Monterey for 1927 started in August, 

 and all canneries except one ceased operation in March. Canning 

 operations were started in the San Pedro district in November and 

 continued into May. In San Diego, packing was carried on through- 

 out the year, but on a small scale, and less than fifteen thousand cases 

 of all size cans were packed. 



The following table shows the production at Monterey and San Pedro 

 districts. One plant was operated in northern California outside of 

 Monterey and the output is included in the Monterey figures.
