We print in another column a letter
from Mr.. Burleigh of Whitehall on
the subject of sening fish in Lake
Champlain. 1t looks very much as If
our lawmakers erred in permitting any
use of nets or seines. The supply of
fish and game is limited at the best. and
it will never do to ALLOW fishing in this
wholesale fashion. The Fish and Game
league should investigate this matter and
secure whatever legislation is needed.
