the patrol boats; but this cannot be
true, for the appropriation for these
boats is a separate land Independent
fund and cannot be used for any other
purpose. Then the question is, Where
has the $17,500 appropriated for the
seashore fishery department gone? But
this is not a question for me to argue.
Time will show where it is gone. If one
deputy warden has received $505 in
cold cash for four months, travelling up
and down this State, it isn't to be
wondered at that the wardens are told
that the funds are short. And when
non-residents of this State are given
permission to set traps in the waters
of Maine without procuring a license,
which Is a plain notification Of the
lobster law, and when wardens are told
to prosecute one case and not another,
because it is too expensive, and when
old-line wardens are told To the VIC

no longer required in this department.

Ex-Warden N. j. Hanna of New
Harbor has been in the City for Few
DAYS stopping at the Brunswick Hotel.
Mr. Hannah, when asked what change,
if anv, would be enacted this winter in
our fish laws, said: ''The first and i'm
portant change that should be made is
in the appointment of new commits
sioner, for certainly we can look Tor
no prosperity or enforcement under the
management Of the present incumbent
in that office. There never was such a
wholesale violation of our lobster law
within the confines Of this State as
there is today, and has been conducted
since March T. 1916. More than 10000
unlawful Holsters have been transport
ed from Maine to New Hampshire
since that date-say nothing of the
untold thousands that have been car
ried into Massa chusetts state. Now
with two patrol boats at the COM
missioner's command, with 10 or 20 old
line wardens, besides a score of deputy
wardens that have been installed by
the present commissioner, it would
seem that we ought to have expected
some enforcement.
But. Mr.. Hanna. they tell us that
the seashore fisheries funds are ex-
hausted and that the wardens must
stop or work without pay"
