TO LOCATE RIVERS MOUTH.
A Problem Confronts the boundary Com
mtssioners.

A Problem Confronts the boundary Com
missioners.
The Joint commission appointed by
the Legislatures of Delaware and New
Jersey to draft fishery laws and fix
me- dividing line between the Della
ware River and Bay, in conformity with
the boundary line compact between
the two States, held a meeting in the
University Club, at 1910 Walnut street,
Philadelphia, yesterday. Alexander b.
Cooper of the Delaware commissioners,
who is the president of the Joint com
mission, presided. Walter II. Hayes
and william s. Hilles, the other Del
aware commissioners, were present.
Senator Bradley and Senator Avis of
the New Jersey commission were pres
ent also, but Mr.. Strimple was absent.
The present fishery laws of the two
States we're compared and the commits
sioners found that they do not differ
widely. 1t will be no trouble to har-
monize them. Each commission will
have a draft of the laws made and
present them at the next meeting of
the iolnt commission. They are about
the same on the question Of the time
for fishing and the size Of the meshes
in the nets used.
About the first Of next month the
Joint commission will take a trip on
the Delaware River for the purpose of
endeayoring to locate the mouth of the
river. There is no question in the
minds Of the commissioners that it
extends as far down as the lower end
of Reedy Island. The pilots holding
comm issions on the Delaware River
claim as far down as Reedy Island
light. Some Of the New Jersey citi-
zens and watermen say that it extends
as far down as Stony Point. The
Delaware commissioners are not sure
that it does not extend as far down on
the Delaware shore as the mouth OF
the Appoquinimink river. The triT
down the river will probably be made
In Mr.. Hilles' new yacht, which he
has offered to the commission for the
trip.
As soon as the commissioners dec ide
upon the dividing line between the
bay and the river they will place
monuments on each side of the rivei
marking it.
Yesterday the commissioners ad
lourned to meet again at the call o
President Cooper.
