being a battery station. You will find two things of interest, one 
a little frog pond, another an illustration of our work in retain- 
ing whitefish in quantities for planting in the lake, after bring- 
ing them to fingerling size, to three and “four inches. Those 
who may want to extend their trip a little further, can with 
readiness, visit some of the other hatcheries in the state; and at 
that time there will be members of the board and myself who 
will see that they are attended to any or all of the hatcheries they 
may wish to visit. There will be many other things of advantage 
also which I will not enumerate, but keep as pleasant surprises. 
(Great applause. ) 
Mr. Fullerton: I desire to offer a resolution regarding the 
protection of the fish in our Great Lakes. 
President: I am under the impression that we adopted 
something of that kind last year. 
Mr. Fullerton: I believe in keeping at it. 
President: If the society desires again to go on record as 
still being firm in the belief, I see no reason why it should not 
be done. 
*>Mr. Meehan: I introduced a similar resolution myself at 
the last meeting, as chairman of the committee on resolutions. 
President: We adopted a broad resolution last year. 
Mr. Fullerton: I believe federal control is our only salvation. 
We should keep at it eternally. If we had as good protection as 
we have propagation, there would not be any question about our 
fish. 
Upon motion made, seconded and unanimously carried, the 
resolution was referred to the committee on resolutions. 
Mr. Clark: In view of the excellent reports, so far as we 
have heard, of the committee on foreign relations and believing 
that a similar feeling as to its excellence exists on the part of 
every member, I would moye that the same committee on foreign 
relations be appointed for another year. 
Motion seconded and unanimously carried.
