 money) for boats moored to the piles and see to 

 it that fishermen are not exposed to such disgust- 

 ng treatment from above. It would even be

 others to the Extension itself, some to try their 

 hand from the stages, others to watch the more 

 experienced anglers in their boats. One of the 

 Jetty officials might easily patrol the very small 

 square of deck, from which such expectoration 

 has any chance of being effective, and the sooner 

 orders are given to this effect, the better it will be 

 for the reputation of a very delightful resort, 

 which such practices have long discredited with 

 many who might otherwise patronise it.
