SITUATION IS SERIOUS.
II Money Is Not Provided the Fish ia
the State Hatcheries Will Be
Turned Into the Streams.

The oversight of the legislature by
which 1t failed to provide the $4,000
necessary to pay the expenses of the
State Fish Commission during the next
two years is likely to be followed by
serious results unless money is pro-
Vided from some source or another.
In the fish hatcheries at Erie and AL
le:town alone there are now 10000
breeding fish, including 10000 fine trout,
valued at over $4,000. All these must
be turned into the streams unless some
means of raising money can be found,
and the operations of the commission
viii! practically close for two years.
In 1S95-1896 over 60,000,000 fish fry
were distributed in the streams of the
state, and in 1s96-1s97 over 1872, 2,OO0, 900
were sent out. Owing to the new hatch
cry at Cory it was expected to dc
much better this year. Now all the
hatchcries must be closed. There is no
money to buy food, and the commission
is in debt $1,000.
This means that the new bill pro-
viding for a chief fish warden and
subordinates at $4,000 year will also
go down, because no provision has been
made in the general appropriation bill
for the expense. But it makes lit
tie difference about the appropriation
because the bill was so crude in most
of it's provisions that it is said the
governor would have vetoed it on gen.
eral principles. 1t also makes it al
most a necessity that the new fish
bill will fail, but this is not regarded
as misfortune, because it was looked
upon by fish protectionists as even
worse than the present law. If no 9TH
er means of raising money to pre-
serve the breed trout is to be found,
1t Is possible that the commission may
call upon the Fish Protective organi-
cations, of which there are about sew
Cnty-five in the state, to contribute
the necessary amount with which to
provide food and pay the caretakers.
If these fish are turned into the stream
1t is said that 1t will require five years
10 get up the stock again.
The fish commissioners are hopeful
that some plan will be devised where
by they can get enough of money to
keep the fish in the hatcheries. A con-
sultation of the state treasurer, audi
tor general and commissioners is soon
10 be held, at which the situation will
be considered in all of it's phases.
1t is not at all likely that enough of
money can be provided to carry on the
work of the commission as 1t has been
in the past, and it is probable that
for the next two years the work Of
stocking the streams of the state with
fish will lag. ....,,
