Town Clerk W. P. Watson has re-
ceived the following communication
in regard to the misunderstanding OF
the fishing laws on Shiloh or Dutton
Pond, from Willis e. Parons, Commits
sioner of Inland Fisheries and Game
Replying to yours of the END in
slant, I am sending under separate
cover. package of the summaries OF
laws. We certainly did not under
stand that Dutton and Shiloh Ponds
are identical In view Of the cir
cumstances, shall certainly rule that
the latest regulations hold, and In the
new edition OF the laws shall elm
mate the old "Dutton Pond" regula-
tions. | am very glad indeed you
called my attention to this error. This
is one great difficulty We have in
drafting the laws-ponds are known
by so many different names. In reply
to your inquiry asking IL the closing
of Carrabasset river and its tributar-
les to all fshing-Little Hammond
Pond. for instance, whose outlet flows
into the river-would say that great
pond--a natural pond Of ten acres or
more-is not a tributary to another
lake or pond or to river or stream
While the outlet of Hammond Pond
would be closed under the law clos
ing Carrabasset river and its tribu-
taries. Hammond Pond, IL a great
pond, would not be affected neither
would the tributaries to Hammond
Pond be affected. II Hammond Pond
is simply wide place in the river
Is less than ten acres in area-tha'
pond and its tributaries would be con-
sidered tributaries to the Carrabas-
set"
