If the first which were hatched here, after an interval of about thirty years, made the passage of the Saugus and reached the sea in safety, it is but reasonable to expect their return, as adult fish, during the coming May. The right of way is open for them, and also the fish ways, in accordance with the decree of the highest court of the United States ; and if not interfered with by a very weak minority of those who seem bound to oppose the wishes of a large majority of the people who really desire to see the experiment fully and fairly tried, the migratory fishes of various kinds will find their way up our streams to the headwaters, as surely as the summer birds find their way from winter quarters to our woods and fields again.
83
Returning to their ocean home in the fall months, the young fry, in countless thousands, furnish food through the winter to the useful and indispensible sea fishes, bringing the latter to our coasts to feed on the bounty sent down from our lakes and rivers to the Atlantic tide, rewarding "the toilers of the sea," and bringing wealth to the state and national coffers.
This is no myth, but an absolute fact, the result of careful observation and experiment, on the once exhausted rivers and lakes of Europe.
The mill-owners on the Saugus have now fully complied with the request of the State Fish Commissioners, putting in fish ways of the most approved pattern, up which the fish ascend to the ponds adjacent.
In some instances, mill-owners have felt that the decree of the Supreme Court was an act of injustice ; but who had the first God-given right of way in all these waters but the hosts of migratory fishes? And, in keeping with Nature's grand plan, they only want their rights for a few weeks in the spring, and less time in the fall.
Cannot the manufacturer who has the whole power of a river to turn his wheels, year in and year out, afford water for a narrow fish way, and at a season when a thousand times as much water as the fish may require thunders to waste over the flush-boards of his dam! It would seem that he might compete successfully with the manufacturer who has no river at all, and depends wholly on the coal mines of distant Alle- ghanies for the motive power.
In closing, we can but express the hope that if the lake is opened in 1881, it will be deferred until July, instead of May, in order that the black bass shall have one more fall season on the spawning grounds, unmolested.
The thanks of the committee are certainly due our people, and especially our young men, for the faith which they have shown in our endeavors, and their patience in awaiting the results. There is no doubt but that the fish which have been
84
allowed to remain in the lake, are doing as well as might be expected under the circumstances.
And your committee would recommend an appropriation not exceeding twenty dollars, for any expenses which may possibly be incurred in looking after and protecting the interests of the fisheries.
All of which is most respectfully submitted.
