What a Trap Meter Says.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
Please allow space in your valuable columns In
| reply to the statement made OF the 18th instant,
In which the trap METERS say they are in trouble
again from the fact that they have to cease fish
ing legally June the first They say the fish
are just beginning to run. Allow me- as trap
fisherman. TO say that they have been running all
this month May with every prospect of a con-
tnuance to the first OF June: that we have been
catching from $500 to 5000 herring day and
getting g and $40 per COO for them, with steady
demand. 1t is sincerely hoped the Commissioners
VIII not allow an extension, but that all fishing
In the District limits Will cease according to law,
the Both of May. Fish having no protection are
getting scarcer and scarcer every year. notwith-
commission. and all from excessive fshing-fsh-
ing In season and out OF season. Shad and
herring few years ago were in abundance but
are getting scarcer and scarcer from over fishing,
ana, unless some steps are taken, will become
extinct In cur waters. 1t seems strange such a
every season, but such is the case.
