Portland, Me, Oct. 16.-Plans for q
to determine the minimum length a
Crustacean must attain before it is Of
fered legally for sale are meeting with
much opposition on the part of the fish
ermel of this State who yearly obtain
a large income from the lobster indus
try.
At present a lobster is measured from
its nose to the tip of the tail and should
obtain a length of at least 101a inches.
Sometimes when the crustacean falls
a tritle short Of requirements the fish,
ermen. it is said. have stretched the
tail and by this method have caused
the Wardens much trouble. The new
method proposes to have the measure
ment made from the tip of the nose to
the Easc of the tail only.
Warden N. J. Hanna of this city is
at present studying with some of the
large wholesale dealers who supply the
Boston and New York markets. the
mean length to be fixed for this much
priced delicacy. For this purpose ex-
periments are being made with several
hundred crustaceans.
Should the efforts Of Mr.. Hanna
prove successful. a determined effort
will be made by him and his associates
to have the Legislature repeal the old
law and adopt the new one to be rec
commended. The fishermen are vigorous
Iy opposing any suggested change. They
claim that Holsters are very scarce
now and that anything tending to re-
