Seine or Net Fishing Unlawful
Between June IS and Aug. is.

Many fishermen are perhaps una
ware of the fact that it is unlawful
to catch fish in any of the waters of
Florida with seine or net, between
the 18th, day of June and the 18th
day of August, and in the case of
fresh water streams the closed sea-
son is from May 1 to November /
of each year.
The acts governing fishermen in
these cases are as follows, the one
quoted first applying to fresh water
fishing and the one quoted second
applying to all other fishing:
Chap. 4786; Sec. 2. 1t shall be
unlawful for any person or persons
TO haul or drag any seine or net of
any kind in the waters Of any of the
fresh water rivers, creeks, bayous or
streams in the state of Florida, for
the purpose Of catching food fishes,
between May 1st and November LIST
of any year, or with any seine or
drag net with meshes less than two
inches square measure, or four inches
when stretched; but the use of min
now nets is hereby allowed for the
purpose of catching bait. Approved
June 3. 1899.
Chap. 1883; Sec. 4. That from
and after the passage of this act II
shall be unlawful for any person, or
persons, to catch with any seines, or
nets, any fish in the waters of tn s
state, or to use or employ any seines
Or nets in the catching of any fish in
the waters of this state. between the
18th day Of June and the 18th day of
August, of each and every year. or
to catch any mullet in said waters
between the 18th day of November
and the 31st day of December in each
year; provided, that this law shall
not be construed to prohibit the catch
ing of fish in cast nets, or by hook
and line, Or to prevent the use of a
seine when used by individuals or as
semblages on the occasion of picnics
or public dinners, for their own con-
sumption as food only. Approved
June 3, 1899.
The penalty in the case of convic-
ton for fresh water fishing is forfeit
ure Of seines. nets. boats, etc., and a
fine not to exceed 500 or imprison.
ment in the county Jail not to exceed
80 days. The penalty in the case of
other fishing, as provided under
chapter 47S9, is fine of not ex-
ceeding $500, or imprisonment in the
county Jail for not exceeding 80 days,
Or both, in the discretion OF the
court.
There is no doubt that great deal
of unlawful fishing is being and has
been done, and fishermen as well as
game and fish wardens will do well
to look into the matter and see that
1t is stopped.

Pensacola in the
Nava! Appropriation Bill.

Pensacola will always feel very
kindly toward Admiral Endicott, chief
of the bureau of construction in the
navy department. AS a trained naval
officer, one whose interests and
opinions are not warped by political
considerations, Admiral Endicott sees
the advantages and needs of Pensa.
cola's navy yard in a light that no
mere politician-like many members
of congress are-is capable of doing.
While Pensacola lost the appropria-
ton providing for the construction OF
stone craving dock, Admiral Endi-
colt held out to the end in his
recommendation placing Pensacola
first on the list for that important
piece of work. The item was, how
ever, stricken from the bill in the
house, and although Senator Mallory
submitted senate amendment pro-
y:ding for 1t, the conference COM
mittee also rejected that. In the
conference committees discussion Of
the item, the following occurred:
Mr. Foss said: THE dock at Pensa-
cola was stricken out of the bill as
II came into the House. 1t was not
simply question of providing a dock
at Pensacola. We have floating
dock there to-day, but the moment you
provide another dock, it means an
enlargement of the yard, it means
the building of new shops and one
thing and another necessary for the
repair OF ships. | think our equip.
ment for the repair of ships as our
Navy Is at present constituted is per-
fectly able to take care of all ordin-
airy work, and consequently / hope
that this motion will be voted down"
Mr.. Rixey. Admiral Endicott was
asked: Suppose you get one or two,
where would you prefer to have
them? Admiral Endicott said: Pen
sacola first, Puget Sound second. and
Solomons Island, in Chesapeake Bay,
third He went on to state that he
did not attach as much importance
to floating drydock as he did to. a
craving dock"
It would seem that such a recon.
mendation ought to have carried some
weight, even with a man like Mr..
Toss, but when the fact is considered
that the secretary of the navy lives
on Chesapeake Bay, it is easy to
understand why the point of third
importance was substituted for that
of first importance as recommended
by Admiral Endicott, with the result

Water Companies Must
Furnish Adequate Pressure.


One Of the most important and far
reaching decisions rendered by the
Florida supreme court in some time
was handed down on Thursday in a
case wherein a brewer, whose plant
was damaged by fire owing to INSULT
cient water pressure, sought to recov-
er $4,000 damages from the water
company on account of their failure
to supply adequate water pressure. In
the lower court the case was decided
against the brewer, but the supreme
court of the state, on appeal, held that
the water company was responsible il
through its failure to supply sufficient
pressure. the damage was caused, and
remanded the case back to the lower
court for further proceedings.
Pensacola has had number of in.
stances wherein it was alleged that the
water pressure for fighting fires was
not sufficient and in two, at least, the
claim was made that much valuable
property could have been saved had
the water pressure been adequate.
The decision of the Florida supreme
court is one that will receive general
commentator and, will undoubtedly
result in much good. Corporations
which supply public necessities should
be held strictly accountable for their
failure to perform their obligations to
the public.

To Improve Railway

1t Is the desire of the club that
modern stations be constructed at all
points within the state, that proper &C.
commodations be provided therein for
the races and that the grounds about
such stations be beautified, to the end
that travellers through the state may

ty Of the railway stations. in west and
central Florida, at least.
Something over twenty-five years
ego the superintendent of the Delaware
Division of Erie Railway took up the
question Of identifying station grounds
and, after experimenting for sometime
began the work of improvement. A
greenhouse was established at division
headquarters wherein plants of nearly
every description We're raised. and the
work was carried on in a systematic
manner. In the course of couple of
years every station on the division had
its little garden, and flower beds even
decorated the yards of section houses
and filled little squares by the side
of the shanties of watchmen and cross
ing flagmen.
The expense of this improvement
was practically nil as the actual work
was performed by the station hands

there was considerable rivalry between
the agents as to which station should
present the most beautiful appearance
and in consequence Of this interest
the Delaware Division of the Erie
came to be known to travellers and
employees alike as the Bouquet Divi-

standing the fact that beautiful sta

the entire length of the Erie system.
Nothing more impresses the trav-

the eye such grounds prove a valu-
