The committee on sea and shore fish
cries has listed three bills of comparative
Importance: Wednesday, acts TO amend
the present law in relation to the meas
urement of HOLSTERS, and providing that
the present laws governing Holsters be so
amended as to prohibit the shipment of
Holsters out of the state from June 10 TO
Sept. /; Thursday, act to abolish the Of
flee of commissioner of sea and shore fish
cries. That the efforts to have a vill
passed by the state Legislature prohibit
ing the shipments of Holsters out of the
State between June 10 and Sept. will
meet with strong opposition, is the am
nouncement. While such a bill would not
affect majority of the lobstermen, dur
ing the summer as the demand from no.
tells and summer cottagers is enough to
exhaust their supply, there is feeling
that there would be many ways by which
the law could be evaded. one of these is
by having the lobsterman sail to the
three-mile limit off the coast and there
dispose of his catch to the out-of-State
smackers.
