Geo. H. Teague, for the Committee, presented a lengthy report by which it appeared that the Com- mittee, as instructed by the town, entered an emphatic protest to the action of the State Fish Commissioners, and was informed, if the town of Wakefield did not like the regulations it was at
36
liberty to abandon the lease of Lake Quannapowitt. Commissioner Brackett finally cancelled the priv- ilege of fishing additional hours on two days of the week, which he gave early in the year. The town Fish Committee voted to charge the usual sum of twenty-five cents for fish permits, since the town had provided no other way of paying their ex- penses. This placed the matter of fishing, at the opening of the season of 1885. exactly where it was before any action had been taken by the town. The report concludes as follows : "Your Committee is of the opinion that the vote of an intelligent town of over six thousand inhabitants is greater than the will of a single individual, and should not be vetoed in this arbitrary manner, and recommends that the Representative of Wakefield to the General Court of 1886 be authorized and instructed to use his best efforts to have Chap. 91, Sec. 14, of the Pub- lic Statutes, so amended and changed that towns may regulate matters concerning fishing in ponds leased by them without action by the Commission- ers of Inland Fisheries."
