On motion Of Jos. Bernard, seconded
by A. Leopold, the following resolution
was adopted:
Whereas, varied other u n
gage the attention of the people of this
Parish almost to the extent Of CONNER
cially disregarding Shrimp and salt
water Fish entirely, and less than
thirty people are occupied in these
Fisheries throughout the Parish, with
area and supply sufficient to support
n hundred thousand or more if devel-
opment we're commensurate to that
proven practical and successful in other
countries; and
Whereas, the development Of this
resource would greatly rebound to the
interest of the genera! public in pro-
ductlon of wholesome food supply; in
creasing the business of u canals and
inland waterways, our markets, ice
factories and canneries; lettering trade
in supplies, lumber. provisions and in
other ways too numerous to mention
and too obvious to dispute; and
Whereas. the aforesaid migratory fish
are known to come from and to
the Deep, which affords ~impenetrable
preserves covering t~hree-fourths of the
Earth and which have been declared by
the experts of the Game Commission to
be the sole breeding place of Shrimp,
and by other great scientists to be ut
terry inexhaustbile by act OF man, this
being substantiated by history;
Now, Therefore, realizing the i'm
portant future of this industry, be it
resolved, that u representatives are
requested to use their influence
and to vote in the next Assembly to
improve the condition Of the people oc-
in these Fisheries and to n
courage others to engage therein; to
continue the additionally unrestricted
Sea- Fisheries of this State. and to op-
pose any and all legislation which may
tend to embarrass pursuit and improve
ment or check legitimate investment
and progress therein; and
be it further resolved, that the adver-
tised alarms of repletion Of the sea are
visionary and absolutely unwarranted
in fact, that there is not the slightest
need for extention of control by the
Game Commission over the Sea and
arms of the Sea, and our representa-
tives are therefore requested to S all
Legitimate means to defeat such unde-
sired extension.
On motion of F. Giordano, seconded
by Jos. Bernard, Divide Soils, Augustin
and David Ballay were ap-
pound keepers for the Ninth
