Proceedings Forty-seventh Annual Meeting 79 



Resolved, That the taking of non-game food fishes, under proper 

 supervision, be encouraged in every legitimate manner consistent 

 with the preservation of a sufficient breeding stock to insure a 

 future normal crop, (in states where required, necessary legislation 

 to this end should be enacted) ; 



That many waters in which the so-called game fishes predom- 

 inate contain also rough fish such as carp, suckers, bowfm, gars, 

 etc., and in such waters the removal of these non-game fishes will 

 be beneficial to angling, and a limited amount of commercial 

 fishing, under proper regulation, should be encouraged; 



Resolved, That the anadromous fishes should be permitted to 

 ascend the rivers from the ocean in sufficient numbers to maintain 

 a constant and normal supply, and that to this extent the com- 

 mercial fishing should be subject to proper regulation; and, 



Be It Resolved, That a solution of this problem relating to the 

 alarming decrease of these species rests in the Federal control of 

 all anadromous fishes; and, 



Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be 

 forwarded to the Bureau of Fisheries, the United States Food 

 Administration, and the fisheries authorities of the various states. 



(Signed) John W. Titcomb, Chairman.

 Mr. O'Malley, who spoke very briefly. 



On motion by Mr. John P. Woods, the Society expressed its

 it formally adjourned.
