net fishing in Lake Champlain, which lies
within their boundaries, and Vermont
and New York having on their statute
books laws which prohibit any forms Of
net fishing in said lake within their juris-
diotion, committees were appointed by the
legislatures of the two states to confer
with the Canadian authorities and to urge
upon them the necessity Of repeating their
laws allowing net fishing in that portion Of
the lake within their bounds.
After several conferences the Canadian
officials suggested that the matter be TAX
en- up with the general government at
Washington, and that the request come
from there, which was done, and Presi

Dlvertlng Bassett's Creek.
Before the CITY council decides to divert
the waters Of Bassett's creek into Cedar

the matter met yesterday and listened to

a large Undertaking and that If the
waters were diverted a sewer would have
to be constructed to drain the city dis
tricts now drained by the creek. He said
the survey would cost about $1,000, and
could not be completed before fall. He
was instructed to go ahead with the sur
