60 Tzvcnty-iiiiitli Annual Meeting 



Mr. Nevin : I think the can is very nicely arranged for ship- 

 ping fish a short distance. 



The President: What do yoit use, ^Ir. Xevin? 



Mr. Nevin : An ordinary milk can. 



Mr. Wood: I would say that the express companies usually 

 charge us for about everything they can, and additional ice is 

 sometimes charged for. 



!Mr. Bennett : I would like to ask how he disposes of the 

 water after it gets stale? 



Mr. Wood: Take it out with a dipper. 



Mr. Bennett: Over in here we put a cap with a perforated 

 wire on, and after this gets full here we imscrew this cap and 

 the water will run out. 



Mr. Wood: I think that any outside arrangement like that 

 the express companies will surely knock oft in handling, and 

 that is why there is no cover to this can for they get lost; and 

 now when they take a wagon load of trout over the pavements 

 without covers, the express fellows are pretty sure to get wet, 

 and it serves them right, too, I think. 



The President: What pric€ do you give for your cans, Mr. 

 Bennett? 



Mr. Bennett : I pay $4.50 each, and I get the cans of the 

 Iron Clad Manufacturing Co., of New York. 



Mr. Wood : Quite often we take a dipper full of water and 

 throw it out of the car as we go along", and I would never go on 

 a trip without a dipper. 



Mr. Handy: I would like to ask Mr. Wood if that is white 

 paint? 



j\Ir. Wood: I am glad you asked that. I have always 

 wanted my cans painted white and I never dared paint them 

 with white lead. I wrote to the superintendent of the hatchery 

 at Cold Springs Harbor, L. I., a short time ago, and asked him 

 what he used, and he told me they were in the habit of painting 

 their cans with white paint, but before he answered my letter I 

 had already got some paint, and this is th*' can I painted. You 

 mix the paint up with water and a little oil. I sent a load of fish
