  Commission 
  141 
  

  

  Attention 
  is 
  respectfully 
  called 
  to 
  the 
  following 
  matters 
  which 
  

   need 
  prompt 
  action: 
  

  

  The 
  pollution 
  of 
  the 
  sources 
  of 
  Spring 
  creek 
  in 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  

   Caledonia, 
  and 
  the 
  diverting 
  of 
  water 
  on 
  State 
  land 
  for 
  private 
  

   uses 
  should 
  be 
  stopped. 
  The 
  State 
  will 
  never 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  restore 
  

   the 
  Caledonia 
  Hatchery 
  to 
  its 
  original 
  efficiency 
  without 
  absolute 
  

   control 
  of 
  the 
  bed 
  of 
  Spring 
  creek 
  above 
  the 
  hatchery 
  grounds. 
  

  

  The 
  lease 
  of 
  property 
  for 
  the 
  Chautauqua 
  Station 
  should 
  be 
  

   renewed 
  or 
  else 
  additional 
  property, 
  more 
  suitable 
  for 
  hatchery 
  

   purposes, 
  should 
  be 
  acquired. 
  The 
  station 
  is 
  capable 
  of 
  doing 
  ex- 
  

   cellent 
  work 
  with 
  Trout, 
  Lake 
  Herring, 
  Whitefish, 
  Maskalonge, 
  

   Black 
  Bass 
  and 
  other 
  valuable 
  fish; 
  but 
  it 
  must 
  be 
  enlarged 
  and 
  

   improved. 
  

  

  The 
  Cold 
  Spring 
  Harbor 
  Hatchery 
  ought 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  larger 
  annual 
  

   maintenance 
  fund 
  and 
  an 
  auxiliary 
  station 
  or 
  stations 
  should 
  be 
  

   established 
  at 
  the 
  eastern 
  end 
  of 
  Long 
  Island 
  for 
  work 
  with 
  im- 
  

   portant 
  marine 
  species. 
  This 
  station 
  distributes 
  more 
  fish 
  of 
  value 
  

   to 
  the 
  people 
  for 
  food 
  than 
  all 
  the 
  others 
  combined, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  

   same 
  time 
  it 
  can 
  handle 
  all 
  the 
  Brook 
  Trout 
  eggs 
  required 
  by 
  all 
  

   the 
  stations 
  and 
  bring 
  them 
  to 
  the 
  eyed 
  stage. 
  

  

  The 
  Delaware 
  Hatchery 
  is 
  growing 
  in 
  efficiency, 
  but 
  it 
  will 
  prob- 
  

   ably 
  never 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  do 
  what 
  is 
  necessary 
  in 
  the 
  way 
  of 
  furnishing 
  

   trout 
  for 
  the 
  region 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  intended 
  to 
  cover. 
  It 
  would 
  be 
  de- 
  

   sirable 
  to 
  increase 
  the 
  State 
  holdings 
  by 
  the 
  purchase 
  of 
  a 
  farm 
  

   in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  the 
  hatchery 
  which 
  has 
  an 
  extra 
  large 
  cold 
  spring. 
  

   It 
  would 
  be 
  well 
  also 
  to 
  acquire 
  a 
  dam 
  site 
  on 
  the 
  farm 
  of 
  Peter 
  

   Sanford 
  and, 
  in 
  fact, 
  to 
  buy 
  all 
  the 
  property 
  adjoining 
  or 
  touching 
  

   Whortleberry 
  Brook 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  valley. 
  

  

  The 
  Fulton 
  Chain 
  Station 
  could 
  be 
  very 
  much 
  improved 
  by 
  in- 
  

   troducing 
  spring 
  water 
  at 
  comparatively 
  little 
  expense 
  for 
  the 
  pur- 
  

   pose 
  of 
  rearing 
  trout 
  to 
  fingerlings. 
  The 
  lake 
  water 
  now 
  supply- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  station 
  becomes 
  too 
  warm 
  in 
  early 
  summer 
  to 
  accomplish 
  

   this 
  desired 
  object. 
  

  

  The 
  Linlithgo 
  Station 
  will 
  probably 
  not 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  raise 
  finger- 
  

   ling 
  trout 
  at 
  any 
  time 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  lack 
  of 
  spring 
  water. 
  It 
  

   would 
  be 
  very 
  desirable 
  to 
  produce 
  fingerlings 
  at 
  the 
  station 
  for
