opening eight inches high and two feet wide, even under a small 
head is sufficient to enable fish to find it and as the outlet of the 
fishway is at the bottom and only twelve feet down stream from 
the end of the apron of the dam it is easily accessible. In con-

themselves as to the acceptability of the fishway and theirs is the 
decisive vote. When they come to the dam this fall it is hoped 
to learn their view of the question. Meanwhile the fishway is 
open for consideration and incidentally for passage of a con- 
siderable amount of water to supply the stream below when other 
sources are scanty.
