Is it not about time that the law
against seining or trapping fish was
being enforced? The Government,
at much expense has filled our riv-
ers with salmon, shad and other
choice fish. Every day men are en-
gagged in SEEMING and destroying
these young fish. Almost any hour
in the day you can see men on the
streets pcddling salmon that are not
over four or five inches long. If
they would let them alone and fish
only with hook and line, as the law
permits, these fish would grow to
immense weight and size, and soon
our rivers would be full of them
Let the law be enforced against
every man who uses a seine, net or
trap to catch fish.

The warm days with its disease
creating opportunities will soon be
upon us. The town council should
see to it that the city Board of Health
does its duty, in compelling property
owners to clean up their premises.
The health of the town might be
better protected, if sewerage was
put down. The town is getting too
big to throw all it's slops and filth
into the cutters and baek-yards.
