At the recent meeting Ut the King
fishers, presided W by President
George W, Davis petitions To the
Board OF Supervisors were drawn up
for the protection Of fish from net
hauling. IL expresses the sentiment
OF all the citizens. and the petition has
"A number OF signatures, among winch
are those OF all the resident fishermen
and many VI the Northern visitors,
The petition read as follows: The
fish in Fort Bayou and Davis Bayou are
rapidly decreasing. the cause OF which
can be attributed very largely to the
almost daily use OF nets, which, il al
lowed. will in a comparatively short
time have almost cXterminated some
OF the most desirable species OF our
fish. 1t is a noticeable fact that they
become scarcer year by year. Many
are taken from said streams by non.
residents and marketed outside the
limits OF jackson county. In view OF
the foregoing facts the undersigned
citizens Of beat No. TOT Jackson coun-
ty do most respectfully ask that your
honorable body take such action IS in
your Judgment will prevent the taking
of fish from Davis Bayou and Fort
Bayou with nets.
