ONLY 1898 LOBSTER
FISHING LICENSES TAKEN

Seven hundred less fishermen re-
newed their licenses to catch Holsters
this year than last year, this falling off
! being due to various causes. Com
missioner Of Sea and Shore Fisheries
! Oscar H. Dunbar received the appllca
| tons from 1898 men who wish to fish
, the seas.
"One reason in the first place why
there are less men engaged In the
| lobster fishing business this year" said
| Commissioner Dunbar, els the advance
| in the cost Of lobster gear. The lum
Der and laths that go to make the traps
are very high and the rigging which IS
| imported from Manila has gone sky
| ward in price. Another reason is the
great demand for labor where men can
! make more without the expense of get
| ting traps.
| at also cost more to operate the
! boats this year because of the increase
| in the price of gasoline" continued
| Commissioner Dunbar, "and ali com
binod makes it pretty expensive to
start in the business of catching lob
| stcrS."
| Commissioner Dunbar said that he
believed that the law prohibiting the
| taking of Holsters of less than 1Os
inches in length was being violated in
some sections, because or the lack of
sufficient warden service the last
| legislature falling to appropriate
money enough to police the coast as it
should be done. Twelve wardens are
now at work. of which number five are
on full pay and seven on part pay.
No cases of violations have been re-
| ported to the department of sea and
shore fisheries from sections OF Ham
cock and Washington counties where
there are two months of general close
| time during the summer months.
