COMMISSIONS TO

Delaware and New Jersey
Boards to Meet at Tren-
ton This Week
WANT SAME FISHING
RULES FOR BOTH

A joint conference OF the Delaware
and New Jersey commissions. ap-
pointed by the governors Of the re-
spective States. 10 try 10 bring about
uniform fishing laws. is expected to
be held in Trenton. y. j.. on Friday
or Saturday Of this week. The
naming OF the New Jersey commits
sion is expected 10 take place today.
Upon the appointment OF the New
Jersey commission. arrangements
will be made for an immediate con-
ference, as the Legislatures OF both
the States will adjourn in a short
time.
The Delaware commission was ap-
pointed early last month and has
held a number OF hearings in Dover
as we'll as with members Of the New
Jersey Fish and Game Commission
at Trenton. Hearings have been
given TO Delaware fishermen and the
Delaware commissioners know the
wishes Of fishermen Of this State.
10 is the desire OF the first confer
ence that points Of difference, II
any. be brought out, so they can be
adjusted satisfactorily TO the COM
missioners OF both States. There are
several points on which the laws OF
the two States are not uniform.
Following the first joint confer
ence the two commissions are ex-
pected TO hold another meeting for
their fishermen so that differences
can be settled. II is then probable
that one or two more conferences be-
tween the Delawa-e- and New Jer-
sey commissioner in be sufficient
to reach an agreement on a draft OF
uniform fishing laws for the Della
ware river and bay. Legislatures OF
both States must enact the uniform
fishing laws 20 make them binding
