When the hearing resumed yes- terday morning Arsene Gallant was recalled and his testimony completed. He admitted he had poached lobsters in 19M and land- ed them at '!‘ignish Run. Gallant, who was patrol boat captain for two months last year. told counsel Hon. H.F.G. Bridges that he was under the impression his duty was on the water. He said he could not read but that his engineer bad read his appointment warrant to him. Asked if he had the appoint- ment with him, witness replied he» had. and handed it tocounsei,who| then read it to him. After this- was completed he said it was the first time the entire appointment; had been read to him and he was‘ unaware the appointment gave him‘ permission or authority to do land work.

He said he did not want to get “in wrong" with the fishermen at 'I‘ignish Run by searching their boats when he was patrol boat captain. but added that if he knew he would have a Job for. say. five years he would have worked much harder.

The next witness was Timothy Lefflair, Nail Pond fisherman, who said he had fished and canned el- even cases of lobsters in 1936 and had sold them to C. P. McCarthy. He said he had been caught pack- ing illegally by Inspector C. R. Palmer early last. fail and that he had been fined 860 and had s case and a. quarter of packed lobsters seired, but he did not pay the fine and continued packing alter that. In fact, he said. he canned his eleven cases after he had been caught.

The next witness was Fred Deagle, Mimlnigash. He explained that he had acted as buyer during the spring season for the last three years for Edmund Melanaon. He told of Meiansm sending gasoline across to the Miminig-ash shore and od Edward Mooney. who was in charge of the boat. selling it to the fishermen for 15% and 16% cents per gallon while local mer- chants were charging 30 and 8i cents.

He said ’ Melanson told him he bought the gasoline from McCall-Frontenac Oil Company Limited at Moncton for eleven cents a gallon and that Melansons boat had brought across about B5 drums of 46 or 46 gallons each to Miminigash last sprinS season and had made one trip in the fall with albout twelve drums.

He doubted that 6.000 lobster traps had been destroyed of‘! West Prince County shore last year, and said he did not. think there were that many destroyed in the dis- trict for the past five years.

In the afternoon Mr. Deagle was recalled and said he had seen at

West Point last summer a crate oi l

lobsters of which about50 percent were berried and female lobsters. He did not know the name of the fisherman who brought the lobs- lters ashore. nor did he know the j buyer's name.

i Edward Gaudet followed to the

island. He said he lived at Pleas- '

ant Point and in addition to be-

ing a farmer was also in the lob- ster business. Concerning 46 cases , of lobsters purchased from him by ‘Chester P. McCarthy last. fall the ,witness said the lot with one ex- ception had been canned by him- ,~self and his brother Earl. The ‘icanning was done in their factory ; and in other buildings nearby. The factory had operated at night when the illegal canning was done.

He told counsel he owned 108 acres of land. of which B0 or 85 acres were clear, and added he could live without poaching.

"Are you of the opinion the moving oi the district line will be an aid to stopping illegal fishing?"

On the west coast yes".

F. D. Callaghan, St. Louis mer- chant, McCarthy, Tignish .35 cases of lob- sters during the closed season last year and said they were all ille- gally packed. He told oi accepting the cases of canned lobsters onsc- count. Witness informed counsel the firm had bought $153,000 worth of lobsters one year between 192C and 1925, but he was unable to give the exact year. He felt that of that amount, between l0 and 20 per cent were illegally canned.

"Do you know Edmund Melan- son?" _

“No, but. I have heard of him".

“Was he a competitor of yours insofar as gasoline was concerned?”

"He sure was".

"Well. fishermen fold me he transported gasoline over from the mainland and sold it to them for l6 cents, by the drum, while we charged 29 cents. Of collrse fish- ermen reoeived a rebate of six cents when they bought from us, yet his price was considerably low- er than ours".

He too eimressed the opinion the changing of the district boundary line would assist in eliminating poaching along the west coast. but said he thought two short seasons would be the complete remedy.

The final witness of the day was Leslie McCarthy. manager of Tig- nish‘ Fisheries Limited and also manager of C. P. Mwarthys Hig- gins Wharf factory. He denied: ever handling any illegally caughtl lobsters and also denied ever hav-i ing packed any poached lobsters. He said it was necessary for some fishermen to fish illegally. but also felt it was notneceasury forothers.

osis was to be found according to the latest information available. Dr. P. A. Creelman, superintendent of the Provincial Sanatorlum. told the meeting in the course of an interesting address. There were 80 patients in the Sanatorium and 69 active cases outside and the re- cords were not complete by any means. It was a far cry from the results attained now in the fight agaimt. tuberculosis compared with‘ what had been the case when the organization which is now the Dis- pensary began work 27 years ago, Dr. Creelman said. reviewing brief- ly the history of the T.

The object was to co-or- ‘ dinate the work oi all interested isocieties in rural and urban cen- i tree. The mult has been that cases z are now discovered earlier which l means fewer Sanatorlum cases and fewer deaths.

Dr. Macwllan moved a vote of thanks to Dr. Creelman for his ad- dress. He paid tribute to the work of the Sanatorium Superintendent. who, he declared. was "savins fut-

Concern Felt For Depletion Cf Lobster Industry

The chief matter discussed at 1hr» regular meetng of the Summer- sicie Board of Trade last. evening was the depletion of the lobster in- dustry on the Island which Mr. T. M. Linkletter. M. L. A, one of the most prominent packers on the North shore said had been reduced in the last 25 years to almost half the catch. The average yearly de- crease in the quantity taken is over 7.400 cwts.

Mr. Linkleiter gave some start- ling figures with regard to the in- dustry and suggested a size limit as the only remedy to save the indus- try from extinction. He recommend- ed a size limit. of seven inches be- binning in the spring of 1938. After considerable discussion the Board passed a resolution recommending this suggestion to the government.

Agricultural matters and publicity campaigns were brought up b!’ Messrs. Donald Baker, and H. T. Holman. On motion of Mr. Holman. seccndfi‘ by Ml’. Ilidstone. .\II‘. R. S Hinton was appointed secretBTY l0 replace Mr. ‘Robert Gordon who left recently for St. John.—S
