ANGLESEA PENCILINGS

a good many New Jersey fishermen
will be interested in the outcome of a
suit recently brought in the United
States court against Elvin, West & Co,
who operate fish Weirs along the Jersey
coast near Seabright. The suit is in
tended to settle the disputed question
about the rights of fishermen to catch
fish in weirs of the coast of this state
inside the three mile limit of federal
Jurisdiction. 1t is set forth in the COM
plant that the Weirs are set where the
depth of water at low tide is more than
fifty feet; that the guy ropes and an
chors are in the path of sailing vessels
and a menace to navigation, contrary
to the natural right to navigate the
Atlantic ocean in safety. The claim is
set up that all weirs so set are unlaw-
full. 1t is alleged that the poles and
weir lines are strong enough to break
the propeller of the largest steamer
a1oat. These fish pounds, as they are
commonly called, represent a large
amount of invested capital extending
as they do as far south on the Jersey
coast as Cape May. On Five Mile
Beach there are several thousand dol
lars invested in this industry by many
of Il citizens.
