The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1916-01-20

Editor Herald In a recent 10
sue of the Punta Gorda Herald
appeared the proceedings OF the
Fishermen's Union which indicat-
ed they wished the present tish
law so amended that the license
taxes paid by the fishermen
would go towards providing a
fish hatchery in Florida.
Now, there seems to be an er-
roneous impression among the
fishermen that very large sum
of money is being collected IN
taxes when the facts are to the
contrary. The records show that
the total amount collected from
fishermen for boat license taxes
to date amounts to $6,SOS.2O for
the entire State.
The estimate given me by the
Bureau of Fisheries, Washington,
d. c., as to approximate cost OF
establishing a hatchery is $4,000.
1t will then take perhaps half OF
that amount to operate the hatch
cry. If we depend on establish
ing a State hatchery from the
taxation now realized, less the
cost of collection, it would take
from twelve to fifteen years to
realize enough cash to establish
the hatchery alone.
While in Washington last Au-
gust, | secured the cooperation
of the Bureau of Fisheries, De-
partment of Commerce, for the
establishment of a Federal Fish
Hatchery in Florida. / am just
in receipt of the following letter
from DIR. H. M. Smith, U. S. Fish
Commissioner, which is self-ex-
.planatory, also copy of the bill,
introduced in the U. S. Senate by
Senator ID. U. Fletcher, which
provides for the hatchery in Flor
ida:
Mr.. T. r. Hodges, Shell Fish Com
missioner, Tallahassee, Florida.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the
29th ultimo regarding fish
hatchery in Florida was duly re-
ceived. The Bureau has been in
conference with Senator Fletch-
cr's office and, meanwhile, a bill
for the establishment of nation
al fish hatchery in Florida has
been introduced by Senator
Fletcher This bill meets with
our hearty approval and at the
proper time the Department will
make a favorable report on the
measure.
Should the bill become a law,
we shall, of course, feel obliged
to confer with you in regard to a.
vailable sites, and we thank you
in advance for your interest.
Very truly yours,
Ii. NJ. SMITH, Commissioner.
