Fellow fishermen, while our organiz-
alton has not accomplished all that was
deserved, during the past spring, yet
we have done much that every shad
fishermen should be thankful for. We
have received a liberal discount on our
Irvine netting and gill lines. At the
request Of the Association some iron
buoys have been removed and smoothe
wooden ones substituted In their places.
We have kept off all legislation that
might he detrimental to our interest.
We have commanded the respect Of men
of political influence. We have organ
lied two additional branches during the
past year, one at Pennsville and the
other at Bridgeport, each branch hav-
Ing a good working number.
It is plain to be seen we have done
much that is creditable TO u Associa.
tion. We are in a better position than
ever before for doing successful work.
l received q letter from the President
of the Salem Branch stating that they
would hold n meeting a week till the
fishing season opened.
We held our first meeting on Satur.
day night, Dec. 9Th, and elected the
following officers: President, Edw. s.
Harris; Vice Pres, George Watson;
Treasurer, George Jordan; Secretary,
George Cam; Asst. Sec, Alfred Pat
ton; Inside Guard, Harry Bowen.
Those present were earnest and de-
termined to do all they could for the
success of the Association. We want
every shad fisherman 10 join our Asso-
citation. The fishermen of Salem should
join the Salem branch. Those of Penns-
vile the branch at P~ennsville. Those
at Bridgeport should join the branch at
that place.
We have many wrongs yet that needs
to be righted. We need the cooperation
of all the fishermen. We want to be
up and at 'em and never cease the war
fare till justice is done us. We invite
all shad fishermen who are not members
of the Association to join us and help
push the battle on to victory.
We will hold a meeting every Satur-
day night In Conover's Tobacco store,
to commence at Z O'Clock.

President Smalley presided.
The finance committee reported $500

The road committee reported q barge
load Of shells of $3.50 bushels purchased
and put OH the streets where needed
most and another load of 5725 bushels
put on Railroad Avenue. A letter was
received from President Conner Of the
Railroad Company stating the Company
would not improve Railroad Avenue.
The public road was laid out only TO
the railroad property. AT that time
William Snmmerill one of the Directors
of the Railroad was also Township
Committeeman and thought to save
the Township some expense, but after
wards when the Railroad got into 9th
er hands lie saw the mistake and that
the road should have been laid to the
River. The Railroad Company does
not think IL should improve the road
over its land used by the public and the
Council does not think 1t should i'm
prove the railroad property.
Bills to the amount of $523.70 we're
ordered paid, $685. 3 being for the two
loads of shells.
The Clerk was instructed to write to
the attorney for an opinion as whether

A communication vas received from
some citizens asking that the mud and
slnsh caused by horses be abated in
front of the Summerill block as it had
become u nuisance.
The committee appointed to get
Charles e. Barber's consent to have a
ditch cut down the side of his property
next to the Railroad too vent the water
reported that he was not willing. Some
contended the old drain in front OF the
wagon factory buildings should he
opened and y new trunk put in. Then
Mr.. Barber could Gil in his side oppo-
site. Messrs. Jordan. Crompton and
Diver were appointed q committee to
see il the water from Henry Barber's
land could not be drained down the
road opposite the school house and
through by the ''hard tack" row in
stead of through the more populated
part of the town.
