FISH WE1Rs. We are in receipt of COM
munication from Commissioner Donahue in
which he calls the attention of the public, and
particularly boards of aldermen of the coast
cities and selectmen of coast towns, to that
part of section So, chapter ITO of the Public
Laws of 1911. pertaining to the building of
wers. The law requires the town officials to
procure bond of one hundred dollars from
parties before granting license to build weirs,
the condition of which is that upon termination
of said lease the lessee shall remove all stakes
brush and other materials from the location
used. This is law that was very much need
ed, as it has been the custom in the past for
parties upon the abandonment of weirs to leave
the old stakes and brush in the water, men
ace to navigation, and unsightly objects mar
ring the beautiful scenery along our coast line;
and it is the duty of every selectman to see
that the law is obeyed.
