Hughes, f. A. Lsreombe and Richard
Rauch. Clerk George A. Redding,
Solicitor Tatem, Collector Peters on and
Engineer Rice were also present. The
room was full of fishermen, whose vo-
cation is being interfered with by the fill
ing up of the channel, making it very
difficult to reach Mace's dock at times.
One of the speakers said the bar was
closing up fast at a point bel weeH
Champagne Island and the Hereford
club, about 500 feet from the dock, un-
til there was only about four feet OF
water at low tide. Dynamite has been
used this fall in an attempt to remove
the bar, which accounts for the ex plo-
sions heard in this vicinity during the
past few months. President Buck was
of the opinion hal 1t was useless to use
dynamite. Aid Is being sought from
the city SO that a dredge could be
bought or hired and used to pump out
the sand in the channel, so as to pre-
ven it filling up altogether. Solicitor
Tatem proposed that q com mittee be
appointed to take up the matter, get
prices on a dredge and consult with the
fishing industry aud report to Council

boys In those days, real boys of 10 and
IL, who marched as bravely and as
proudly into cannon fire as their great
chief, General Washington, himself.
Our nation had little girls, who laughed
and cheered and loaded mnskets for
their fathers, who fired thru loopholes
in their CT bin homes when the painted
Indians charged to their very doors.
