New prices in effect will make it possible for non-stockholders to fish from "the hill" for 50 cents a day. Non-stockholders will also be allowed to fish all day in a company boat for $1.00 instead of the usual $1.50 per day for fishing and boat rental. Also in line with the pricc reduction move, the directors decided not to place a charge on persons paddling a boat for some one else to fish. The a m ended ruling specifies that only the person fishinK will b< charged provided only one fish ing apparatus is carried am that the paddler docs not fi.sh a' all. Anyone being allowed tin privilege of paddling a fisher man without charge who i: caught fishing will be subject tc prosecution. Officials of the lake pointer out 1h.1t September and Octobci η re ex ι >ee tort to be the besi months of the year for bass and Jack fishing and that the reduc ed prices are in effect to en courage as much of this typt fishing as possible. It is gener ally believed that there are toe many j.Vk and bass in the lake as compared with the flat fisl population. Several thousand blue brcarr were released in the Lake lasl week and others are expected ti be secured. The legal netting season was also set for the year by the di rectors. Netting for stockholder! only will open November 1, am! close January 31 All nettim must be authorized by the care taker and all netting parties must check in with hfm prioi to setting the nets. Only suckers, catfish, blacl· fish and other rough tish an caught in nets are allowed to bt taken from the pond. Directors are also comiderlni •ecuring a net fisherman to se company neta in the Uk· to rough fish that would then be sold. A committee is seeking to find a fisherman to take the job on a commission basis. It is be lieved by the directors that the constant netting of the rough fish would increase the hook and line variety of game fish. Λ committee was also ap pointed to study the possibility of establishing a small run from the lake to the race so that fish could enter the lake from this area. An estimate of cost of the propect is expected at the next meeting of the directors. Directors have set the in·:;? meeting for Monday. Sept em bet 17. at Η:()().
