HIGH COST OF FISH
BLAMED ON GULLS
Sea Birds Destroy Bait, CLAIMS
and Crabs, Says Jersey
Foe of Birds

ATLANTIC CITY. Dec. ID SEN
ator Emerson l.. Richards. Republican
ma jority leader and n lieutenant of Gov
ernor Edge has received u draft Of a
bill supported by coast fishermen and
oyster-bed owners. to authorize the kill
ing of sea gulls. which are charged with
Indirect responsibility for the prevailing
scarcity and high price of fish in city
markets.
The birds have become so numerous
under the protection Of a law which pre-
scribcs a penalty OF $50 for each gull
killed, that they have virtually destroyed
the soft clam supply of bait for deep
sea fishermen. CLANS have jumped from
81 to So per barrel as a result, and
many cod fishermen say they cannot
afford to pay the new price.
II Is charged also that during the
summer season the"gulls. in their search
for food, feed upon soft crabs, formerly
a source of large profit for baymen. and
hit the latters food supply further by
feasting upon bay clans.
The fishermen and baymen would
square the account by killing the gull
and selling their feathers, contendinG
that the belief that they serve an i'm.
portant purpose by acting as scavengers
which procured them the laws protec-
tion, is a fallacy.
