364 STATE OF NEW YORK — FISHERIES, GAME AND FOREST LAW. 



§ 2. The owner or owners of every such dam, who shall refuse or neglect to build and keep 

 in repair an apron, according to the provisions contained in the foregoing section, shall forfeit 

 the sum of one hundred dollars and costs of suit, for every month he or they may so neglect or 

 refuse, and any person feeling himself aggrieved may prosecute therefor in his own name, by 

 action of debt, in any court having cognizance thereof. The one-half of said penalty when so 

 recovered shall be paid to the person prosecuting therefor, and the other half to the commis- 

 sioners of highways of the town where such recovery shall be had, to be applied in repairing the 

 roads and bridges in such town. 



§ 3. It shall not be lawful for any person to spear, or in any manner catch or destroy any 

 salmon or other fish, while passing up said apron or aprons, or within distance cf ten rods 

 thereof, whereby they may be prevented or disturbed from pursuing their usual course up said 

 river. Every person offending against the provisions of this section, shall, for every such 

 offense, forfeit the sum of twenty-five dollars and costs of suit, to be recovered in the same 

 manner and applied in the same way as provided in the last preceding section. 



§ 4. All acts and parts of acts, heretofore passed, in relation to dams or obstructions in the 

 rivers above recited in the first section of this act, conflicting with this act, or regulating the 

 fishery in the same, are hereby repealed.
