REPORT OF FISH COMMITTEE


REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON INLAND FISH-


ERIES FOR THE TOWN OF PLYMOUTH


FOR THE YEAR 1912.


At the annual meeting in March, 1912, the Town appropriat- ed five hundred dollars for the use of the Committee on Inland Fisheries.


The committee met and organized with Dr. E. D. Hill as chairman and Harry B. Davis as secretary.


In April, 1912, the committee received from the State Fish and Game Commissioners 40,000 trout, fry. These were put in streams from Kingston line to Manomet. The result of stock- ing streams with fish of this size is problematical and the suc- cess of the experiment cannot be determined for some time to come.


The committee has purchased, for the last few years, white perch from Alton Valler and Benjamin F. Griswold which they placed in the various ponds of the town. These white perch were taken by Valler and Griswold from Ship Pond. During the past year, Ida Douglas of Ship Pond, claiming to own the prop- erty, has brought suit against Valler and Griswold and the Town of Plymouth and there is at the present time an injune- tion outstanding preventing the taking of any more fish from Ship Pond.


Until this question of the rights at Ship Pond is settled, it will be impossible for Valler and Griswold to supply the town with any more fish from that source. It is the opinion of the committee, however, that if anyone can be found who can sup-


-156-


ply the committee with a reasonable number of white perch, that a reasonable number should be purchased each year and placed in the ponds.


The committee made another attempt to obtain some black bass to put in some of the ponds in order to see if the bass fish- ing would be improved in that way. Owing to the limited sup- ply at the hatcheries, however, we have been unable to obtain them.


Of the appropriation of five hundred dollars made at the last town meeting, the committee has expended one hundred twen- ty-seven dollars and thirty-five cents, leaving a balance of three hundred seventy-two dollars and sixty-five cents. This balance, of course, is no longer available for the use of the committee, and the committee suggests the appropriation of three hundred dollars for the use of the fish committee during the coming year.


The report of the expenditures of the committee is as follows : Amount of appropriation, $500 00

I would recommend the installation of a police signal sys- tem, if it is not more than red lights, located in different parts of the town, so arranged that they might be operated from the police station ; also three or four telephones for our private use.


-175-


In this way we could keep in close touch with the officers on the street, and they could communicate with headquarters at any time.


I also recommend that an automobile be purchased for the department. I have had occasion to use one a great many times in the past year with good results. It would be of great value in bringing people that are under the influence of liquor to the station, where in the past officers have had to use any conveyance available. I may say in connection with the above, it might be used in other departments, such as the Selectmen and Overseers of the Poor. The cost of team and automobile hire for one year would go a long way toward purchasing an automobile for this department, and I urge favorable consid- eration of the article in the town warrant on this subject.


I wish to take the opportunity at this time to extend my thanks to the officers and the members of the department for their hearty co-operation and prompt obedience to orders. Also, to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen and any and all others who have assisted me in any way in the performance of my duties.
