Three-Mile Pond
Will Be Closed to
Ice Fishing Four
DAYS of Each Week

At the close of a hearing at his
office Saturday morning, Commits
sioner Willis E. Parsons of the State
department of intend fisheries and
game granted the petition of the
municipal officers of the towns of
China, Windsor and Vassalboro that
Three Mile Pond. situated in those
three towns, be closed to ice fishing
to correspond with the regulations
pertaining to China Lake, Mud Pond
and Weber Pond.
AS this Is an emergency matter,
the new regulations pertaining to
Three Mile Pond will be Immediately
promulgated.
A. +. Pierce Of Augusta represent
ed the petitioners at the hearing,
and he presented a letter from resi-
dents of China Village favoring the
proposed regulations. There was no
opposition.
In their petition, the municipal
officers of China Windsor and Vas
salboro pointed out that inasmuch
as China Lake, Mud Pond and Web
Der Pond are closed to ice fishing
on Sunday. Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of each week, and Long
Pond in Somerville is closed to all
ice fishing, this throws the weight
of all fishing in that section onto
Three-Mile Pond, Sundays, and this
would soon deplete the fishing there

After rra4lie viola tors

Teams without lights, that annual
bane of automobile drivers who dis
like to smash up wagons and also their
cars, are receiving the attention of the
State Highway police in this section of
Penobscot county at the present time.
The State Highway police have been
active for several nights warning
those caught to light up their teams.
The officers are, however, tired of lis
tening to excuses and hereafter will
take all offenders against the team
light law into court, where the mu-
nicipal court Judges will impose fines.
This law has been in effect for several
years, is well known to all team own
ers and the time for excuses for Its
violation is past.
The team light law applies to heavy
teams as we'll as driving outfits and
applies to the truck teams about the
village as we'll as to farmers who are
hauling in potatoes. Many complaints
have been heard recently about local
truckmen driving their teams about
the streets without the necessary
lights after nightfall. The time of
the setting of the sun Is published in
all the newspapers and almanacs and
1t Is an easy matter to figure up as
to the proper time to light team lamps.
Those who wish to avoid being hailed
into court to pay fines for violation Of
the law will do we'll to equip their
teams with lights and to have them
lighted 80 after sunset.
