GOVERNOR RECOMMENDS
FISHERIES REORGANIZATION

Governor Stuart in his third mes
sage to the Legislature, recommends
reorganization of the Commission
Of Fisheries. His suggestions are
wise, and should be adopted. When
the first Board of Fisheries was
formed 1t was a crude affair. The
present Commission of Fisheries act
greatly improved the old one, and now
there is great need of other changes.
Reorganization of the present Co.
mission of Fisheries, to provide for
the creation of the office Of assistant
commissioner, to be charged with the
duty Of looking after the States she'll
fish interests, is recommended by Gov
eEnor Stuart
The Governor notes with regret the
decline in the volume of the Tidewater
fisheries, and recommends serious
consideration OF the remedies for this
condition. Specifically. he suggests
that the duties of the offices of secre-
tary to the Commission OF Fisheries
be delegated to the bookkeeper in
charge of the office, and that this po-
sition be converted into the office OF
assistant commissioner. to be in
charge of the shellfish interests.
This Is one good suggestion. and
doubtless the Governor and the COM
mission itself will point out many
more improvements. among them al
ternating the appointment of the in
dividual members In keeping with
the importance of the office and the
onerous duties. salaries of the COM
missioner and his first assistant should
he at least $4,000 and $4,000, re-
spectively. The three up-country
members should also be upon salary,
even though this be nominal.-Vir
ginia Citizen, Irvington.

NOT TO RECOMMEND
SALARY INCREASES
Finance Committee to Leave This
Proposition to City Coun-
Gil Itself.

Members of the Finance Committee
indicate that there will be no recon-
mendations for salary increases in the
forthcoming budget, but that these
propositions will be left open for dis
cussion on the floor OF Council.
There are a number of requests for
increases, many of them from city en-
ployes, who are not receiving princely
sums for the work performed. but the
committee feels that with the great
demands upon the city for street i'm
provements and for other expendi-
lures. there is small chance for In
creases in salary this year.
In leaving the question to the Coun
eli as whole, the committee believes
the requests may be better considered
and more reasonably acted upon.
The Finance Committee will meet
tomorrow night to further consider
the budget. 1t Is expected the ap-
preparation will be ready to submit
to Common Council at its regular
meeting next Monday night

The Journal regards as unfortunate

cries a man so far removed from the
center OF Tidewater industries. It
does not presume to question the Gov

the letter, of the law creating the
