Our Fish Supply.
TO THE EDITOR. | Sir, — Eeferring to the leader in Satur- I day's Star on Lake Ellesmere, let me draw | attention to a question which I put to Sir j Julius Yogel at the Oddfellows' Hall in ' 1883 cr 1884, which he promised he would ; bring tinder the notice of his colleague, ! the head. o£ the Marine Department, in ! regard to the length at which flounders ' Bhculd be taken. This, I said, should be : from eleven to twelve inches, and the mesh j o! the nets altered. I also brought the ; matter under the notice of the late Mr E. W. Humphreys when representing Christ- \ church North, and he got a promise from '' the Marine Department that there should be an increaie in the length. Now, sir, ; had this been done we should not have been in the fix we are to-day. — I am, &c, G. TIBBS.
