 the report. 



The gasoline engine and pump which were installed in 1912 

 have not proved a success, and cannot be depended upon to furnish 

 a continuous flow of water, which is essential to the hatchery work. 



The races and rearing ponds are in bad condition, and cannot 

 be used to any advantage unless repaired or rebuilt. There need 

 not be so many races and ponds for the water supply is not suffi- 

 cient to fill both the house and the races as now arranged. 



The hatchery is very much in need of painting, and also the 

 dwelling house and other buildings. 



A retaining wall should be built along both sides of the brook 

 which runs through the grounds, as the piling put in to support 

 the banks is in bad condition and allows the water to undermine 

 them. — Reported by William H. Burke, temporarily in charge.
