Synopsis

Excerpt from Report of the Department of Fisheries: From December 1, 1915, to November 30, 1916

There has been no additional work done at the Torresdale or Belle f'onte hatcheries since last reported, except that a few concrete ponds have been repaired and about two acres of land added to the grounds at Torresdale which was reclaimed by the City Of Philadelphia in making extensions to its filter plant. The reclaimed land is along the river front and means much to the Department. Further additions will be made at these hatcheries as soon as appropriations are avail able.

The Corry hatchery is practically completed. Bass ponds will be built for the propagation of bass as soon as appropriations are avail able and plans drawn.

One Of the biggest and most serious problems facing the Depart ment is the pollution of the streams Of the State. This question is becoming more serious each year and must be met squarely and ways and means found to prevent this running of =waste material into the streams. There are many streams which may be saved if ways and means are found to meet the situation, thus saving good trout streams for future generations. There are streams which can not be cleaned up as they are beyond that stage. The Department of the Attorney General has given much valuable advice on this subject and assisted in bringing about many good results. The Board has been guided entirely by the advice received from the Attorney General's Department. It is hoped that some way may be found to remedy this condition.
