  two 
  cement 
  ponds 
  outside 
  of 
  the 
  hatchery. 
  There 
  were 
  also 
  about 
  

   600 
  trout, 
  2 
  years 
  old 
  and 
  older, 
  in 
  the 
  large 
  pond 
  near 
  the 
  fore- 
  

   man's 
  dwelling. 
  

  

  I 
  could 
  not 
  discover 
  any 
  trace 
  of 
  disease 
  among 
  the 
  trout 
  in 
  

   the 
  hatchery 
  troughs. 
  The 
  outside 
  ponds 
  were 
  covered 
  by 
  ice 
  and 
  

   snow 
  to 
  such 
  a 
  depth 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  impossible 
  to 
  report 
  upon 
  their 
  

   condition. 
  

  

  The 
  foreman's 
  house 
  was 
  greatly 
  in 
  need 
  of 
  a 
  furnace 
  to 
  heat 
  

   it 
  satisfactorily. 
  The 
  hatchery 
  building 
  and 
  the 
  outside 
  races 
  and 
  

   ponds 
  were 
  in 
  excellent 
  condition. 
  

  

  If 
  the 
  dam 
  is 
  in 
  proper 
  condition 
  to 
  permit 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  a 
  larger 
  

   pipe 
  than 
  the 
  one 
  now 
  in 
  place 
  to 
  supply 
  the 
  hatchery 
  and 
  ponds, 
  

   I 
  think 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  possible 
  to 
  increase 
  the 
  volume 
  of 
  water 
  and 
  

   thereby 
  extend 
  the 
  work 
  in 
  both 
  hatchery 
  and 
  ponds. 
  The 
  present 
  

   pipe 
  is 
  six 
  inches 
  in 
  diameter.

  Commission: 
  

  

  The 
  work 
  at 
  this 
  station 
  has 
  been 
  very 
  satisfactory 
  this 
  season. 
  

   The 
  total 
  output 
  has 
  been 
  increased 
  by 
  several 
  millions 
  of 
  fry 
  and 
  

   fingerlings. 
  These 
  were 
  planted 
  as 
  follows: 
  Brook 
  Trout 
  fry, 
  

   45,000; 
  Brook 
  Trout 
  fingerlings, 
  327,500; 
  Lake 
  Trout 
  fry, 
  29,000; 
  

   Land 
  Locked 
  Salmon, 
  23,000 
  fingerlings; 
  Whitefish 
  fry, 
  5,500,000; 
  

   Frost 
  fish 
  fry, 
  1,000,000, 
  making 
  a 
  total 
  of 
  6,924,500 
  fish. 
  We 
  

   also 
  shipped 
  1,000,000 
  Whitefish 
  eggs 
  to 
  Caledonia 
  Hatchery. 
  The 
  

   taking 
  of 
  wild 
  Brook 
  Trout 
  for 
  epawning 
  is 
  growing 
  more 
  difficult 
  

   every 
  year. 
  The 
  same 
  applies 
  to 
  the 
  Frost 
  fish, 
  which 
  are 
  getting 
  

   scarce 
  in 
  the 
  Fulton 
  Chain 
  and 
  seem 
  to 
  grow 
  more 
  so 
  every 
  year. 
  

   I 
  think 
  the 
  Bass 
  are 
  driving 
  them 
  out. 
  The 
  lakes 
  are 
  polluted 
  with 
  

   sewage 
  which 
  is 
  another 
  reason 
  for 
  the 
  scarcity 
  of 
  all 
  species 
  of 
  

   fish 
  in 
  the 
  Fulton 
  Chain. 
  The 
  Lake 
  Trout 
  and 
  Whitefish 
  are 
  hold- 
  

   ing 
  out 
  better 
  than 
  the 
  other 
  species 
  as 
  they 
  are 
  deep-water 
  fish 
  

   and 
  are 
  not 
  affected 
  by 
  either 
  the 
  Bass 
  or 
  the 
  sewage. 
  

  

  I 
  recommend 
  that 
  we 
  lay 
  another 
  pipe 
  from 
  the 
  dam 
  to 
  the
