the clam industry has caused danger to
the supply. Hancock county is largely
interested in the matter and there all
interested are agreed on a proposition to
put close time on the Hancock county
CLANS from June / to October /, the sum-
mer months being the breeding time OF
CLANS. The close time would apply to clans
dug for shipment outside the State or for
canning. Ii a general law is passed, the
Hancock county people would be salts
fled to have the matter settled in that
way. In the senate Friday an order was
passed instructing the committee on sea
and shore fisheries to inquire into the ex-
pediency of general close time ON the
di ging of clans for canning, shipment
out of the State or sale for bait between
June 10 and Sept, Is. The passage of such
a general law, as intimated by MIR. Spot
ford, would be satisfactory to the Han.
cock county petitioners for close time
Rep. Sargent appeared before the com
mittee on sea and shore fisheries Thurs
day in favor of allowing the taking OF
aieWives with dip nets in certain parts Of
the Bagaduce river, where the present
law prohibits that proceeding. There has
been some Misunderstanding as to what
the law now allows.
Bagaduce river and the smelts were
considered again when Senator Grindle
spoke for the bill to repeal law prohib-
1tlng the use OF RATS and floats in fishing
for smelts early in the winter before the
ice has formed. There is no opposition
to the repeal.

GOSSIP.

In the course Of his speech against the
bill increasing judges salaries last Thurs
day, Senator Grindle said 81 correctly
when say that the most valuable service
this legislature can render the people is
to oppose all schemes to increase the ex-
penses of he State government. White
there is not in sight a single measure
which will lessen State expenses there
are many which will increase it. Unless
omething is done to defeat them it is
certain that they will entail upon us
rate of taxation so burdensome as to be
actually oppressive, and none the less OPP
pressive because imposed by republican
form OF government"
