LOCAL SHAD FISHERMEN
ARE GREATLY AROUSED
Indignant at the Action Of the Members of the
LEGISLATURE in Passing the Bill Relative to
Fishing Within the "Twelve-MiIe
Circle"
EXTRACTS FROM THE MEASURE

ling in the United States Court where
by Delaware fishermen are enjoined
from fishing in the eastern channel be
dissolved.
LOCAL FISHERMEN AFFECTED.
Fishermen Of New Castle are more
greatly affected than at any point with
in the radius OF the 12-mile circle and
lit Is the opinion Of the majority Of
them that the matter should be settled
by the United States Supreme Court.
They claim that they have not for
years fished in waters OF the eastern
channel within Ave or six miles above
or below New Castle. nor do they care
under these circumstances TO have New
Jersey fishermen invade waters OF the
western channel. From New Castle
there are more men fish than at any
point within the 12-mile circle and this
year there viii be probably forty boats
on the river giving employment to
eighty men.
Legal men, however, place the ques-
ton OF fishing rights I'm a secondary
light compared TO complications which
may arise from other sources should
the measure ever become effective.
