IXTERIM REPORT 



105 



and 20th of June, so that our boat fishermen" hegan to start out witi their drift nets to 

 fish, and if weirs were set ready to catch shad, they often got a few in the month of 

 May: but the shad so taken were principally mother shad. Some few perhaps were 

 not, yet they were very good shad. 



Thanking you for your consideration, and trusting that the information which 

 you have already received in your work and study of this subject may enable you to 

 recommend the adoption of a satisfactory law, one which will result in the restoration 

 of our fisheries to their former prosperous condition. 



I remain. 



Yours very respectfully.
