When this was n done it was starting an industry, which, in the next five years, will ifford linno dreds of fishermen a comfortable living, „ as well as supplying the tables ol countI- less homes with a delicacy well nigh : extinct in these waters and incidentally ^ beyond the reach of any but a wcll- ^ lined pocketbook . „ A law was passed after the planting j of the lobsters by the New Jersey state V legislature, closing lobster fishing in all state waters which inccludee three nautn ical miles seaward, for the ensuing five ,g years so that the shellfish wil have amg pie time to grow and multiply. ; It has been several years since the ; lobsters have ben planted and when the five years are up it ought to make some j fine sport fishing for them, although it I- is asserted by fishermen that lobsters will not remain in -a spot where the. , sands shift as. they claim it does at . the jetties. Then it is claimed byoth- ' , era that the indnstry will not prosper " in the breakwater because of the mud- ' dy bottom. -j The law which prevents lobster fishing reads as follows: *Tt shall <-b II unlawful, for five years after the passage of this act, for any person or persons to take by means of boats, poles j ' or otherwise any lobster from any of _ . the salt waters of Cape May county, including the waters .of tbe ,, Atlantic i Ocean, within three nautical miles . of | D : the coast line under a penalty of #20 ' for each lobster so taken." *1 1 Consult Jesse Brown on Yin Roc ft land Spouting. : ;
