I MAKES LARGE HAUL OF WEAK AND BLUEFISH We are informed that the "Break- i water," Capt. Bertrand, has landed at the Howlett wharf on Monday after- ■ noon and unloaded and shipped between twenty and thirty tons of choice weak and blue fish, nearly all of which were • ready to spawn. Our informant also [ states that thfese -fish were sighted by ' Captain Bertrand who, it is alleged, ad- " mitted that he knew what species they " were, nevertheless he made the haul within the three mile limit. The menhaden fishermen pay a small License to t fish for menhaden only and have no j , legal right to catch food fish oy any de- ( I scription. < It is our opinion thst it is about time • : to make laws which will prevent this > sort of wholesale slaughter of food fish- , f es. The State Game Commission seems , to be perfectly willing to sacrifice -Che ' resort section of New Jersey for the ; lj benefit of these menhaden pirates and , . it is high time that it be called to ac1 count. i | SAILING AND BATHING PARTY On Tuesday evening of last week a j , sailing party was held and on Thurs- j j day evening the same party held a bathing party on the beach front.
