and perhaps a matter of small import
ance IN the estimation of the Leglsla-

are interested.
will say in regard 10 this bill that
il affects the waters in Franklin Bay
almost wholly, those within the Town
Of Franklin. In Frenchman's Bay there
comes up a river. perhaps three miles
in length, and averaging a thousand
feet in width and then spreading out.
About the time il leaves the Franklin
line it is very wide bay. and goes out
over hundreds OF acres Of beds covered
with eal-grass, and other things on
which fish Of that kind feed; and !
might say that this kind Of ground is
moi the natural kind of ground where
srnelts are caught by hook and line.
