Massachusetts,, as appears by the letter
Of Col, Lyman, has expended $4,000
since April, 1865, while the whole
amount appropriated for five years by
the Vermont Legislature is only 5000 /
We understand that an appropriation
will be called for at the approaching ses-
sion of the Legislature for funds to pur-
chase salmon spawn To- lGt into our
streams that are now being made accc>si-
for sea fish by means Of fshways, which
Massachusetts, has generously caused to
bc built for their passage.
We shall expect the Legislature to
respond ehcerfully to this call, and pro-
mote the welfare and wealth Of the State
by bringing salmon back TO our streams
as thcy were before dams were built To
ob,true, their passage;
Editors RuGdad Herald: - We all
want the Connecticut and other streams
in Vermont stocked with. salmon. The
project is feasible one, and needs only
moderate outlay OF money to ensure sue.
