FISH CAN LIVE IN
WHITEWATER NOW
Little Oil and Refuse in the
Stream Arrange for
Banquet.

After several years of being so
polluted with oil and refuse that fish
could not live in it, the Whitewater
river, for number OF miles below
Richmond, is now comparatively
clean and has had less oil and refuse
in 1t within the past four months than
for many years past. Officers Of the
Wayne County Game and Fish Pro-
tective association declare that they
are considerably encouraged over
this fact and believe that the fish
can now thrive in the river.
At the meeting of the association
last evening 1t was reported that
through the efforts Of Congressman
Gray, the association has been able
to secure the promise Of number OF
small mouth bass, to be placed in the
Whitewater, from the Department of
Commerce and Labor. Notice has
been made and that the fish will be
sent some time within the next
three months.
1t is believed that Commissioner
George w. Miles will submit plans
for fish ladder to be placed at the
Main street dam within short time.
Already fish of various kinds are try
ing to ascend the stream and are be-
ing held at the dam where they are
caught.
A general meeting of the commit
tees in charge of the annual banquet
Of the association was held last even.
ing The banquet will be held in the
l. o. o. F. hall. The members of the
cts are being sold rapidly. The com
mittee has been informed that num-
Der of fishermen from Indianapolis,
New Castle, Cambridge City, Milton
and other places will attend.

Thursday.

K DR.. S. G. Smelser, of this city mem
Der of the state board of medical reg
istration and examination, will attend
a meeting of the state board of &C
counts next Thursday at which time
the board will take up the question of
the pay of the members of the state

has overdrawn large amounts in sala-
ries.
DR.. Smelser says that he owes the
that other members Of the board owe
more than this amount.
One year ago DR.. Smelser conferred
with Governor Marshall on the ques-
ton of pay for night sessions of the
medical board and he also petitioned
the members of the state board of
accounts to 60 over the books Of the
state medical board
II knew at the time that petitioned
the board Of accounts to go over the
medical boards books that I was in
debted to the state to the amount of
$24," said DR.. Smelser. II had been un-
der the impression that the members
of the board were entitled to Sc per
day and that in case of night session
they were entitled to an addition Sc.
ascertained after drawing money for
four night sessions that the law only
provides for $6 per day, even though
a session lasts for twenty-four hours.
l believe that when all of the over
drawn money is returned it will
amount to several hundred dollars"
