.,I AROUND THE STATE.


,e + IS, for twenty years member
state fish commission, very suddenly
presented his resignation to Governor Bulke-
ley yesterday. DR.. Hudson gives as his rea-
sons that it is impossible for him to agree
with his colleagues on matter of public
policy. The other members of the commits
sion are James A. Bill of Lyme and Robert
B. Chalker of Old Ssybrood. The trouble
between the commissioners Is relative to the
placing of mesh nets In the Connecticut river
for the purpose of catching shad. It is
against the law unless allowed by the fish
commission. Mr.. Hudson does not think
1t policy to allow It and consequently his
resignation. He says that If the nets are used
it will put an end to shad In the Connecticut
river.
