Kennebec county to Ice fishing one day
in week.
Mr.. Bigelow of Portland offered House
Amendment A by inserting in the first
section between the words Vienna" and
land" the words Great Pond in Bel
grade"
Mr.. PATTANGALL of Waterville: Mr..
Speaker, the bill which is sought to be
amended is bill providing for one days
ice fishing in a week in the various lakes
in Kennebec county and was reported by
the committee on inland fisheries and
people in this county, and I should dis
like very much to have an amendment
added to it.
Mr.. BURLEIGH of Augusta: Mr..
Speaker, I am informed that there are
many citizens of Belgrade who feel that
this permission for ice fishing in Great
pond would be a serious detriment to the
fishing interests of that vicinity, which
are Of exceedingly great Importance to
the Belgrade hotel with it's large summer
business, and they feel that opening Long
pond to ice fishing for one day in a week
would be amply sufficient for all purposes
but that opening Great pond would re-
suit as experience has shown, I believe.
in the past, in very serious detriment
to the fishing, very important industry
in that town, and they believe that this
amendment asked for is only reasonable
request. I trust that this amendment will
be adopted.
Mr.. BIGELOW of Portland: Mr.. Speak
err as the gentleman from Waterville
doubtless remembers, my sympathy for
Belgrade was very much enlisted While
ago, and the gentleman from Waterville
gave me considerable advertising in refer
ence to a certain young lady who fished
up there once. I had an interview with
these people from Belgrade and they eX-
planned that to open Great pond to ice
fishing would be a serious detriment to
the fishing industry in that town. There
we're several people from Belgrade in at
tendance at the hearing before the COM
mittee who desired that that particular
pond should be exempt. hope the
amendment will prevail.
The question being on the adoption Of
the amendment division was had ana
iS voted in the affirmative and 8 in the
negative.
