The State Fishery Commissions OF
Pennsylvania and New Jersey held a
conference in Trenton last week, for
the purpose of arranging for an appii-
cation to the Legislatures Of the two
State for concurrent legislation in re-
gard to the shad fisheries of the Della
ware. the fisheries are declining in
yield, and unless something is done to
secure greater immunity to the fish
from almost constant pursuit, the catch
es of the future will be still smaller.
1t is proposed to have an intermission
of the fishing from Saturday morning
at sunrise until the corresponding time
on Monday morning of each week, in
stead of from sunset of Saturday even
ing until sunrise Monday morning.
Legislation OF the same kind will be
asked for the Susquehanna river, The

h,s.sry or the Court Mouse.

! JuuSe lGeeu aC Tue ldSt TERM VI SouIt
in Salem, in charging the Grand jury,
spoke Of the poor accommodations of
the Court House. lie characterized
the foul atmosphere as a menace to every
one who is obliged to perform duty in
the Court room, and said the county
should provide a reasonably safe and
commodious place In which to transact
its business.
The land on which the Court House
and county buildings now stand was
given by John Fenwiek to erect a Court
house and prison, AS appears by the
early history of Salem county, 9TH of
11th month, 1858. A warrant to Rich
ard TindalI, Surveyor General for the
county of Salem, and to John Wolidge,
his deputy, to lay out enc acre of Salem
town, to erect a court house and prison.
In a survey made by Benjamin Ac-
ton for Samuel Hidge, Jr., in 17O6, the
court house lot was again taken as a
point Of departure.
In 1713 the county of Salem was in
corporated under the name of the
justices and Freeholders of the county
of Salem" and the title to this lot
thus became vested in the county court
house from the fact that 1862 this
| ground was spoken of as the court house
lot, 1t is safe to infer that a court
| house had been erected thereon prior to
that date, but there is no record known
| TO exist showing when this house was
built. f.
Tradition says that both the court
house and Jail were log buildings.
Probably the court house stood near
| the sife of the present one, for the mar.
ket house was built on this ground,
neal the present site of the Clerk and
Surrogate's office.
A brick court house replaced this log
building in 1875. This had a front OF
| about thirty-fiye, and a depth of forty
feet, and it was two stories in heights
The first story was used as a court room
and the second was divided into jury
rooms. This house was in use, with
4 only ordinary repairs, more than eighty
years.
In August 1916, the Board Of Free
holders ordered "shat Thomas Jones,
Thomas Broadway, and Samuel Garrison
be commissioners to build an addition
to the north end of the court house, in
a circular form, not less than eighteen
feet; new model the house inside, plas.
ter the same, and to do all necessary re-
pairs to the same; to provide the mate
rails this present season, and commence
the same the following SPRING"
AT a special meeting in April 1917, II
was resolved that the proposed altera.
| ton would make the court house toe
long and narrow, and 1t was therefore
ordered shat the commissioners here.
| tofore appointed for that purpose be,
and they are hereby authorized to make
| such futher alterations by taking down
the back wall and enlarging the build
ing in depth as well as in length, SC
I that it does not exceed fifty feet long by
fifty feet wide, and to finish the inside
in such a way as best to accommodate
the same for the purpose for which IL
is designed.
The building vas completed early IN
1918, and the cost of building it wa,
seven thousand and t~wenty-four dol
lars and eighty two cents.
It has remained without materia
change since.
