 Commission during the year 1900, and also allow for the retaining of stock enough 

 to duplicate the output each year. 



One very important matter has often been alluded to in the annual report of 

 your Commission, namely, the necessity of a law that will permit the Fish Commis-

 if such a law covering all sections of the State should be considered unwise or 

 too sweeping, then I would suggest it for small brooks that may be located on 

 State lands. 



The following is a record of the distribution from each hatchery, and the total 

 summary of all for the year ending September 30, 1899. 



Yours respectfully, 



J. ANNIN, Jr.,
