with this vital period OF unem-

GET together
ON FISHING
New Jersey and Delaware
Commissions Preparing
Tentative Draft
OPEN YEAR FOR
RIVER SURGEONS
Special to The Evening Journal.

Special to The Evening Journal.
DOVER, Del. March 22.-Mem-
bers Of the Delaware Fish Commis-
sion, whose work will be continued
in order that concurrent fishing laws
can be secured for the Delaware
river and bay. are now engaged in
preparing a tentative draft, which
will be submitted to the New Jer-
sey Commission for their considera-
ton.
The New Jersey commission be-
fore submitting a proposed concur
rent law to the New Jersey Legisla-
ture declared that they would have
to first secure the consent of the
fishing interests of Cape May, Cum
berland and Salem counties, in order
to secure the passage OF the pro-
posed measure. In addition to this.
the consent Of the New Jersey Fish
and Game Commission would be re-
quired. These things. they claimed,
would take so long, that it would be
impossible to procure the desired
legislation at the present session OF
the Legislature.
It is the plan Of the two commis~
sions after the Delaware members
prepare their draft. to submit 1t to
the New Jersey commission. Fol-
lowing this. there will be such con-
fcrences as are required TO iron out
points Of difference which may arise.
The Delaware commission on last
Friday. substituted for a fish bill al
ready in the Legislature. a measure
which will make an open sturgeon
fishing season on the Delaware river
and bay, for Delaware fisherman.
Under the existing law. the sturgeon
season. according to the Delaware
law. closed June 30, while New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania fishermen
we're allowed an open season the
year around.
This was objected to by the Della
ware fisherman. who claimed that Il
vas unfair for the New Jersey fish,
ermen 10 be allowed 10 FISH all sum-
mer for sturgeon. while the Della
ware fishermen were prohibited from
doing this. This measure. as intro
/ ducod in the Delaware legislature,
rs step taken by the Delaware
commission to adjust the differences
/ in the fishing laws. il being a tenn
porary adjustment until such time
as the concurrent laws are adopted
/ by the two States.
one measure expected TO take
considerable discussion before fin
ally acted upon, is the size Of the
mesh for a haul seine for trout FISH
ing. There is a difference in opinion
between the fishermen Of the two
states. the New Jersey law estab-
fishing a minimum mesh Of two and
one-Quarter inches, while the Della
ware law has a two-inch mesh a.
the minimum. AS there is consid'
cradle difference OF opinion ovel
this question. Il will likely be a live
~ topic to settle.

Smyrna town commissioners have
enacted an ordinance to become et-
1ective May 1, placing a registration
tax of S1OO on all male dogs and ~
on female dogs. and have ordered
rigid enforcement OF the impound-
ing law in an effort to rid the COM
munity Of the hundreds Of worthless
CANNES which roam about the
streets.
Because the commissioners were
unable to contract for coal at a
lower price for this year than was
contracted in 1920, it may become
necessary for the town to obtain ad-

made.
