Close Day Not Wanted.

PENIS Grove, N. j., Feb. 3. 1908.
Nh. EDITOR, / havejust received from
Senator Strimple, a bill that was intro
duced in the Senate to prohibit shad fish,
ing every Saturday from sunrise till twelve
o'clock Sunday night. during the fishing
season. This bill was introduced Jan. 26,
by Mr.. Mckee. If you will grant me a
little space in your paper, l would like to
state q few facts as to what would be the
result to the fishermen should the above
bill become law.
Fishermen of South Jersey, / desire to
sound a note Of warning to you. If we
remain passive and do not bestir our
selves in opposing this bill and it becomes
a law, our business will be badly crippled
if not ruined. Let us note some of the
losses that would follow.
First, 400 boats engaged in shad fishing
IL days loss to each boat at $40 a day,
would make $12O. loss to each boat. For
400 boats the total would be $48, 900.
Loss of wages for 100 men who fish by
the month, at $40 each, $1,000. Loss of
freight on shad carried to Philadelphia
by Denny Bros. and others, II 5000 shad
each day for IL days, 12O, 900 at &c freight
makes $2400. The aggregate losses from
these sources, would amount to $5l, 400.
The above are some Of the direct.
Many other losses would follow if we
were compelled to remain idle one day in
every week. Their would be ashrinkage
in boat property. Many other things
would ~depreciate connected with the fish
ing business. It would disarrange the
markets and put the dealers to a great in
convenience and would deprive the con-
sumers Of getting fresh shad every day.
1 think these fishermen in the upper
part of the state who are asking for a
close day in the week are ignorant of the
magnitude of the shad fishing industry of
South Jersey. The presumption with us
is that most Of them are sporting fisher
men with very little money invested in
the business. With us in South JERSEY
there is a quarter of a million of dollars
invested in the shad fishing business. A
large number Of people living in the towns
along the Delaware are depending on the
fishing business for a living. If our state
should pass any laws restricting our time
to any less thanh is, it would be a serious
loss to the fishermen and business menof
our communityt While on the other
| hand it would greatly benefit the fisher
men Of Delaware and Pennsylvania.
Let US stand together and oppose any
bill that may come before our legislature
that will be an injury to our business.
