Violations of the law are not so frequent as before tnj^ appointment, 

 but there is considerable Illegal fishing done j-et. My opinion regarding 

 section 7 of the law is that it ought to be so changed as to leave cases 

 entirely to the justice or the jud^e to determine. It is only fooling away 

 a man's time and money to prosecute the violator before a jury in some 

 localities. 



Yours respectfully, 



J. E. Stevens, Fish Warden.

FISH WAYS. 



During the two years since our last report the enforcement 

 of the law relating to the placing of fishwaj's over dams has, 

 with but few exceptions, been complied with on proper notice 

 being served on owners. The practical value of these fish ways

 results have followed their introduction. The^^ require watching, 

 however, to see that they are kept in repair and in working 

 order. We give herewith a list of dams provided with fishways.
