| During the present week the Fish Commission
ers of Maine, Hon +. NJ. Stilluen and Henry O.
| Stanley, accompanied by Me.srs. Chas G. Atkins
Esq, and Everett Smith, civil eng gineer, have met
the owners and occupants Of the dams at Augusta,
Watervile, Fairfield and Somerse Mills to decide
upon the location of fshways to be built at the
places named, and bear cause, if any existed of
any further delay in commencing the work The
owners express their readiness TO commence con-
struction at once, and soon as plans are pre-
pared the work will go on, and can be completed
before the salmon cease running the present sea
son.
Gov. William Sprsgue represented the interests
of the owners at Augusta, A. d. Lock wood Esq,
that of the Lockwood Co. at Watcrville, the
Messrs. Totman at Fairfield and Lawrence Bros.
at Somerset Mills. These gentlemen rendered
every possible courtesy and facility toward effect
ing most thorough inspection of the premises.
and seemed desirous that the designs should be
carried out at an early day.
Since the demonstration of the practical success
OF the f,hway at Bangor the people of the Ken
nebec valley are in earnest in their demands for
fshwa,s. and the strict enforcement of our ev-
cellent laws. The dam at Augusta is the key to
the rver. and the greatest interest now centers
here. The fshwsy here will be one Of the largest
and most important in this State, and probably in
the [ nited States.
