  Sixteenth 
  Annual 
  Report 
  of 
  the 
  

  

  hatchery 
  as 
  we 
  do 
  not 
  have 
  sufficient 
  water 
  for 
  the 
  feeding 
  season. 
  

   This 
  could 
  be 
  done 
  without 
  much 
  cost 
  and 
  would 
  increase 
  the 
  

   capacity 
  of 
  the 
  hatchery 
  for 
  fingerling 
  trout. 
  

  

  The 
  hatchery 
  and 
  boat 
  house 
  have 
  been 
  painted 
  this 
  summer. 
  

   The 
  ice 
  house 
  needs 
  to 
  be 
  painted 
  next 
  season, 
  and 
  will 
  also 
  have 
  

   to 
  be 
  shingled 
  and 
  new 
  sills 
  put 
  under 
  it 
  before 
  this 
  can 
  t>e 
  done. 
  

  

  The 
  retaining 
  pond 
  has 
  been 
  rebuilt 
  with 
  concrete 
  and 
  is 
  now 
  

   in 
  good 
  condition. 
  We 
  ought 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  concrete 
  sidewalk 
  along 
  

   the 
  street 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  hatchery. 
  This 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  principal 
  

   thoroughfares 
  of 
  the 
  village 
  and 
  we 
  have 
  the 
  poorest 
  walk 
  of 
  any 
  

   of 
  the 
  property 
  owners 
  along 
  it.
