During the year the usual repairs were made to the hatching appa- 

 ratus. The carpenter shop and reservoir building were painted, the 

 hatching-room, office, halls, and bedrooms calcimined, and other minor 

 repairs were made to the interior of the building. A platform 41 feet 

 long was constructed at the east side of the station for use in sending 

 out shipments of fry and eggs. Seventy-six troughs, 7 feet 10 inches 

 long, 14 inches wide, and 10 inches deep, were built on the outside of 

 the hatchery, and a picking-trough 23 feet long, 15J inches wide, and 

 5i inches deep, at the rear of the hatching room. The old mess-house, 

 on the northeast corner of the grounds, was taken down, and the six 

 unserviceable ponds on the west side of the station were filled with 

 gravel and earth.
