to the matter ma wor,hv,of vonr con
sideratiop. In this connection. I would
also recommend the projection and an
courupement Of artificial fish breeding
bv proteotiny the owners of fsh nonds
from t,espasses and dopreda,ious. a Law
was passed bv the last General Assem.
bly. authorizing the appc;ntmeut, Of
eight fish commissioners one sfoi each
judicial oircuit-and dc6n;no the dn.ies
thereof. These appointments we're
not made. for the following reasons II
was found that. competeut mem could
not be procured for the salary authorized
to be paid, and no greater results would
have been attained by the aelection OF
incompetent men than withoutauy. IL
was thought hest to leave the whole
subject for additional legislation. in,.he
hope Tint il would oonform to the prac.
tice prevailing in those Stutes which
have had most experience and success
in fish culture. byappoin,iny one person
experienced in the business. and known
as fish commissioner. Mr.. Seth Greene,
who has bech so prominently connected
with tho articiial propagation OF
migratory fish, has been during the pas,
summer employed by the State Of New
York in restocking the Hudson River
with shad, and has BEEN Matching from
one hundred thousand to one hundred
and fiity thousand da;lv. He states. in
published communication, tha. he can
satisfy any person with common sense
that all the rivors on the coast can be
stocked with shad so as to make them
equally plentiful with the olden time.
