GETTING FIXED UP
ON APPROPRIATIONS

The State Oyster Commission having
control Of the oyster industry of the
Delaware bay and Maurice River cove,
desired from the State an appropria-
ton for the ensuing year of $15, 900.
With Assemblyman Miller number
OF the joint committee on appropria-
tions it was thought that there would
be little trouble in obtaining that
amount. especially as the money comes
wholly from the receipts of the Oyster
Commission from leases and license
fees.
The Commission was greatly sur
prised to learn that the committee had
agreed to make an appropriation of
$40, 900, which is $1,000 less than the
amount asked for.
This week the Commission got busy.
Senator Minch took up the matter per-
sonally, and with Assemblyman Buck
made a personal appeal to the appro-
priation committee. Commissioners
Sites and Ogden were in Trenton this
week and they set forth clearly the
demand for at least $12, 600 and it was
arranged that this amount will reach
the county for the use of the commits
sion.
Should the State keep the appropria-
tion down to $40, 600 there would be
serious trouble for the Commission
absolutely has to have $4,000 for the
proper protection of the Delaware Bay
The activity of Senator Minch and
Assemblyman Buck will probably
bring the money up to the amount of
S12 600

A BIG RUN OF
SHAD rs COMING

Within the next two weeks shad
fishermen hereabouts will have spread
their gill nets in the Delaware al
though the larger nets will not be
lowered until April 10. A good sea-
SON for shad is predicted.
According to the statistics of the
United States Fish Commission, there
are about 20, 500 men employed in the
shad fisheries of the Atlantic seaboard
of the United States and it is esti-
mated that Is, 600, 600 shad are caught
annually.
Shad belong to the migratory class
OF fishes and are found in the costal
waters during only portion of each
year. In their annual migration shad
appear in the southern waters of the
United States IN December and Janu-
ary and as the season advances they
appear successfully in the more north
ern streams.
About the first of March they reach
the lower end OF Chesapeake bay; two
weeks later they are in the Delaware
bay and about the 1st of April they
reach the New York bay. In the Con-
necticut they are caught about the
middle of April and in the Kennebec
river during the first week in May.
The young fish hatched out in the
rivers in spring and early summer re-
main there until the following fall,
when they leave for the ocean and
nothing more is seen OF them until
they return to the estuaries as mature
fish

THE WATER TANK
PROVES A PUZZLE

A short special session OF City
Council was held last night at the call
of President Jones. The meeting was
called at the request of the Water
Committee for the purpose Of discuss
ing some plan to remedy the defects
of the big tank or reservoir.
President Jones, after stating why
the meeting was called, asked the
Water Committee if they had any
matter to report.
Chairman Thos. I'll. Woodruff, of the
committee. handed up letter from
Mr. Dabney Fl. Maury, which he de-
sired to have the City Recorder read.
The letter was in reference to his
plan for repairing and improving the
huge tank, which City Council had
decided at its last meeting not to
adopt. The letter concluded with the
statement that if Council wanted the
tank repaired in manner different
from the plans proposed by him, he
would advise them to get some other
person to construct the plans as he
would not jeopardize his reputation on
the project.
The communication was received
and filed. and that disposed of the
matter completely in so far as Mr..
Maury's plans we're concerned.
A building permit was granted
Maler & Barnes for the erection Of a
corrugated iron building on Church
lane for w. J. Miller
At this juncture Mr.. Messick moved
and Mr.. Daniels seconded, that the
plans and specifications which had
been previously submitted for repair
ing the reservoir tank be read This
was ordered and Recorder Hewitt read
them. The bids for the work under
these plans and specifications we're
$95, ,997 from Philadelphia Company
and $21, 800 from the Cox & Sons Com
pany. No action was taken az this
time.
Councilman johnson stated that he
would submit some figures. which he
would like Council to hold in their
| minds awhile. He said the water
stand pipe at Millville was ITO feet
high and 20 feet across, and that the
steel plates of which it was con.
structed we're % of an inch thick.
| He proposed that our "a feet high
water tank be cut down to IL feet high
and that tower or stand pipe be
erected 40 feet across and 80 feet high.
This. he said, would give an equal
gallon capacity to the great tank,
which was something over million
gallons. This could be completed.
both the cutting down and rebottom-
ing of the tank and erecting the stand
pipe. at something like $4,000 less cost
than could the proposed repair OF the
tank at its present height.
He finally moved that the Water
Committee be instructed to procure
plans and specifications for such pro-
ject. The motion was seconded by Mr..
Fox, and on call of the roll was car
ried by vote of six yeas and five
nays.
| There being no further business
Council adjourned.

Time Changed for Holding Court

Aluuc OhonSou lOr HOluluS OOuES
For very many years now the regu-
lar terms of Cumberland County
Courts have been opened on the first
Tuesdays of January, May and Octo-
ber. The time will be changed to an
earlier date.
In order to accommodate the rapidly
increasing business of Atlantic county,
Supreme Court Justice Swayze has
been obliged to shift the time of the
holding of Courts in each county OF
the circuit.
In Cumberland county the change of
time is not sufficient to make any par
ticular difference, the order providing
that the sessions will be held one week
earlier than heretofore.
The May term of Court will be held
on the first Tuesday of May as usual,
the new order taking effect in Septem-
beI. After that the regular terms of
Court will be on the fourth Tuesday
OF September, December and April.
Salem county is not at all satisfied
with the changes made in that county
but, happily, IN Cumberland there is
little change and no inconvenience.

who will be the Trusteep

Ricksom Robbins, who has been ad-
Judged an involuntary bankrupt, finds
his financial affairs in a most chaotic
condition. His creditors are now par
ticularly anxious to have proper per-
son appointed as trustee, and it is
known that many of them are anxious
for the appointment of J. Brodie Nc
Gear, of this city. Mr.. McGear
would be willing to accept.
Walter H. Bacon, representing a
creditor, has for some time had an
execution against Robbins, and by
virtue Of it, the property OF the de-
fendant has been advertised to be sold
by the Sheriff. The sale was to have
been made two weeks since, but Judge
Laning of the United States District
Court issued a temporary restraining
order preventing the sale for two
weeks. There will be no further re-
straint imposed, and one piece of Rob-
bins property will be sold this after
noon.
Counsel for creditors, however, have
tied up all the other estate of Robbins
SO that it will go into the care OF the
trustee when he is appointed An
order was issued yesterday by Vice
Chancellor Grey, providing that the
mortgaged premises could not be dis
turbed until the bankruptcy proceed
ings were adjudicated.

Thinking themselves alone In the
forecastle one afternoon. the strangers
plotted to take the ship, and the lad
overheard every word and carried the
news to the captain. He passed word
to the crew, and OF sudden the Hin.
docs were fallen upon and made pris-
oners
Not three hours later the gunboat
from Bombay boarded us to give us the
news about the pirates and ask that VIC
keep our eyes open for them. Great
was the surprise of her commander tc
find that we had prisoners aboard who
answered to the description Of those he
was after
The Hindoos saw that the game was
up, and one of them made q confession
Their leader was Dondra himself, anc
they had been hiding on an island II

A Big st. Adams Business.

Saturday the firm of Henry Russell,
of Albany, n. Y, which for the past
eight years has done commission flour
business in st. Adams with storage at
what is known as the flour sheds" on
Lower Welden street, ceased business
and large part OF the sheds will be
occupied BY the st. Adams Grain Co.
The increasing business of the st Al
bans Grain Co. has necessitated the Civ
ing up of the local retail business, owing
to the lack of room, and the closing up
of the Russell business was hailed with
delight as giving chance for greater
storage capacity. The house handles
immense amounts of grain shipped
from the West and has for its business
territory all of New England and New
York state. Some idea of the magnitude
OF the business may be gathered from
the fact that the local distributing point
handles about $50 carloads Of grain,
