tedredn says: THE shad and sturgeon
fishermen from up tia river (Delawar-
cans of %course) are arriving there near
" every day now So as to be ready fish
ing when the weather moderateS 80 as
to admit of it. This business promises
to be very profitable to oar citizens now
| since non-residents haven't y right to
| fish in Delaware waters. Before the
law of 1885 was passed, relative TO fish
ing in our waters, the non-re5idel IS
mnnopolized the sturgeon ii1hlng bust
| ness here entirely, and consequently
the fishermen Of this place never engage
ed in the sturgeon fishing business.
This wear there will be at least 20 mes
and boats engaged in it from this I'M
mediate place"
