Otter, a Destroyer

That the otter is a destroyer of fish
life has been proved many times, says
the Detroit News. Even as far back
as the days of IZaak Walton the otter
was considered a menace to fish life.
In WaltOn's angler" we find this bit
of delightful discourse: ''PiscatOr: 4
pray honest huntsman. let me ask you
a pleasant question: Huntsman:
Sir. it is not in my power to resolve
you. but have heard the question
hath been debated among great
many clerks, and they seem to differ
about it: yet most agree that her tail
is fish; and If her body be fish too
then ! may say that fish will walk
upon land for an OTTER does so some
times five or six or ten miles in a
night. to catch for her young or glut
herself with fish. but sir am sure the
otter devours much more fish and kills
and spoils much more than she eats. I"

though they are not required to do
so, Mr.. Shirley said Cities in which
such projects are planned will be
expected to pay the other half of the
right-of expense, the commits
sioner said, while the State will as
sumo this cost in the counties.
The total Federal allotment of about
81 100000 for Virginia is designed to
keep 5000 men at work for a year.
