For Screening Long Pond

Charles a. Hill of Belgrade spoke
in behalf of the resolve appropriating
$4,000 to aid in screening the outlet of
Long pond of the Belgrade chain of
lakes, kennebec county. Mr.. Hill
said that he was appearing for the
Belgrade Lakes Association compris-
ed of people of that town, many peo-
pie from out of the State who come
there for the summer. He spoke of
the need for this screen and said that
the association would be willing to
bear half of the expense. The total
cost of erecting the screen he esti-
peared in opposition.
Appropriation for Fish Feeding
Station
Next was taken up a resolve appro-
priatins the sum of $4,000 for the es
Establishment of a feeding station for
fish at the outlet of Shin pond in Mt.
Chase township. Arthur Briggs of
Winthrop appearing for the measure.
Mr.. Briggs said the cost had been es-
timated at $4,000, that these pools
would be of concrete for summer
feeding and that the proposal was
for 10 pools 25 feet long. There was
no opposition to the measure.
Cobbosseecontee Needs New Screen
A resolve for $4,000 for screening
Lake CobbosseecOntee. kennebec
county. was next in order. Charles
p. Kinsman. vice president of the
CobbOssee Fish & Game Association,
spoke of the bad condition Of the
present screen at the outlet Of the
lake. This screen was put in year
ago last fall and was merely a tenn
porary affair. as there were not 'sufii-
cient funds then to build a permanent
screen. Mr.. kinsman spoke of the
efforts of the Cobbossee Fish &,
Game Association to keep up the fish
ing in the lake and pointed out that
it's work would be of no effect if a
new screen is not built there soon.
Fish can escape through the present
screen. and with the ice the screen
will not last there long. He read a
letter from Greene & Wilson of Wat
erville. civil engineers, who stated
that the present screen is merely a
temporary affair and may last one
or two years longer.
The reason why the screen will
cost so much, Mr.. K!nsman pointed
out, is because of the lodges where it
is to be constructed. A good deal of
blasting will be necessary to get at
the base.
