! ed that the attention of the fish war
dens shall be called to the necessity
Of more strict enforcement of the law

I days during the season, and also as
to netting during the months of June,
July and August, as We have reason
to believe that there has been some
invasion of both these laws.
We especially recommend that no
professional or market fishermen shall
be appointed as wardens, and that
wherever there is one now as warden.
that he be replaced as speedily as
possible, to avoid any conflict of in

After having made a thorough inveS-

the grand jury Of the superior court ol
