TO KEEP FISHING NETS
OUT OF DEEP WATER
Less Hindrance to Navigation and
More Shad in Future
Years.

From cruise over the Washington en-
cheering district, during which she visit
ed the fishing waters in the mouth of
the Potomac and along the western
shore of Chesapeake bay and also went
to West Point, Va, the United States
Army engineer service tug Castle has re-
turned to this port and is lying at the
engineers wharf on the Potomac Park
side of the harbor opposite the foot OF
18th street.
One important duty the Castle is report
ed to have performed is the regulation
of the distance out from the shore IN
which fishing nets can be. placed in the
sea son now about to open. For several
years past the fish nets have been grad
ually encroachins on the deep water UNI
til vessels bound into the Potomac had
difficulty in finding channel through the
nets and much complaint was made. This
season, it is stated, the nets will be kept
out of deep water so that vessels can &c
In and out of the river without trouble.
The showing back of the nets will also
allow shad and herring to enter the river
on their way to their spawning grounds
about this city and will have the effect,
it is claimed, of increasing the fish IN
future years. 1t is also stated that the
nets are being forced back to reasonable
limits in all the streams along the coast.

PETWORTHERS OPPOSED
TO PROUTY Amendment

E. w. Oyster and Places
Itself on Record.

The Petworth Citizens Associati ton
placed itself on record last night in OPP
position to the Prouty amendment to the

Some of the provisions of the Prouty

citation by L. w. Oyster, member of the
board of assessors, who declared that
if it should become a law taxes will be
increased at least 80 per cent.
My Oyster told of the efforts of the
board of which he is a member, to arrive
at fair assessments of real estate. He
said he believes there are fully 10000
pieces of property in the District, how
ever, where the assessment is inequit-
able. The board of assessors is doing its
best to right these errors as fast as pos
Slble, he said
MIR. Oyster spoke in favor of full value
assessments. He said that if tax of
l per cent on the full value Of property
is assessed, taxes will not be any higher
than at present The full value assess
ment plan, he said, will greatly simplify
the work Of the tax assessors.
William N. Cromwell, president of the
association, reported on the movement
being made to prevent the location of the
proposed municipal hospital on the tract
to the west of Petworth where the tu-
berculosis hospital is located.
The association again went on record
in favor of the extension of 18th street.
This action was taken when a commune
cation was received from the Federation
of Citizens Associations suggesting that
the association advocate the extension Of
18th street instead of 18th street.
Alexander Gill was elected financial
secretary. speaker from the Tax Re-
form Association will be invited to adj

WEDNESDAY

This is a chaste and cheerful
day, that makes hit most every
where; it took three medals and
they say a ribbon at the county
fair. On Monday man begins the
week, and hardly gets his job on
straight; next day he labors like
a streak; on Wednesday he has
struck his gait. He then makes
every motion count. and thus he
doesn't draw a blank: night finds
him with large amount of real
mazuma in the bank. Old Wooden
was an ancient god who never
ceased to put UP hay. while other
godlets roamed abroad and spent
the golden hours in play. And
Wooden bumped himself so well,
and showed such stunning zeal
and vim (nor listened for the din
ner belN. they named this bloom
ing day for him. SO Wednesday is
the workers day, the day on
which we chase the bones; it is no
time for foolish play, it is no day
for drowsy drones. On Wednes-
day we should greet the SUN when
that orb rises in the west and say.
Before you trip is done we'll
fill with plunks the treasure
chest" And then when comes
the rainy day-such days have
come, and will again-'You can
not freeze our feet" we'll say, and
open up can OF yen. So get to
work while Wednesday dwells
upon Times evanescent chart,
and then when sound the evening
bells You'll go to rest with peace
ful heart.
