 Fishsrrnen's Special Meeting.
 The Fishermen's Protective associa- | ton held a special meeting in their | rooms on Main street, Saturday night, | to act on the license question. for | which the lobster fsherInen have to subscribe from New York for the priv | ilege of fishing in The Race, whose waters are governed by that state. A new clause has been added to the ap- plication for license this year, which L. sza4a kayf ha AcIl DFFear n | and an effort will be made to have the | clause erased as it pertains to the question of this state demanding a | report of the amount of Holsters | caught by each fisherman during the season. This matter was before the courts | last fall when F. N. Ashby Of this place was charged with having no ticut waters by the fish and game | commissioners. Mir. Ashby was found guilty in the lower courts and was fined $50 and costs. The case was app pealed and was nolled by the superior court at Norwich.
 The fishermen here, without excep- | ton. fish in New York waters, and | they contend that the state Of Con- | necticut is not concerned in the rev enue derived from the business as | the fish are invariably shipped to New | York and their contention was sus- | tained by the courts. That the mat ter should now come up hBdlil. ditSt | being settled, is disagreeabie to the | fishermen, who will hold out for their
 rights.
