DISCUSSING POUND FISHING.

Hon. w. Mcdonald Lee, Commits
sioner of Fisheries for Virginia, is in
Washington this week where he was
invited for hearing before the United
States authorities who are considering
the subject of restricting the pound.
nets in Virginia waters.
This meeting is the outcome of the
preliminary hearing in Baltimore some
two weeks ago, and the matter viii
probably be finally decided as result
OF this meeting. 1t is understood that
the US. Fish Bureau and the Mary
land Fish Commission are anxious tc
greatly restrict the pound fishing in the
lower Chesapeake. Commissioner Lee
will strenuously oppose any such action.
Only the u. S. Commission, the Mary
land Commission and the Virginia Com
mission are admitted to the Conference
this week.
