One interesting feature of the
meeting was the explanation of the
objects of the club by Pres. Titcomb,
he reiterating that the club plan
ned where a man without facilities
to transport trout and wanted a
stream stocked should be helped by
the club to accomplish his purpose.
He announced that the state could
furnish brook and lake trout fry
this spring and the federal govern
ment could furnish both fry and fin
gerlings. He urged the members to
apply for trout every year for
every stream in the county and to
put in their applications at once
In explaining laws that had been
by the last legislature
Mr.. Titcomb said that the estab-
lishment and maintenance of field
stations with money received for
hunters licenses had been author
lied. In this way it was hoped in
expensive stations in different sec
tions of the state could be estab-
lished and fry sent there from the
hatchery and developed into finger
lings before they were placed in the
streams
Those present paid their dues for
the coming year and those not pres
ent should forward the secretary
the fee of 81 at once
