The let- ter which was sent to that body fol- lowing a recent meecing of the board of water commissioners, states that there are large quantities of fish in this water which should be taken out in some manner. It is said there are schools of bass, pickerel and perch there. Unlike other sources of drinke ing water about the state the water at Shuttle Meadow is not chlorinated and unless fishing is permitted, some other way will have to be devised to take the fish out of the water. While the board of water commis- sioners has not gont on record as be- ing either for or against the proposi- tion, it is generally conceded that the members would like to see fishing privileges at that place. It is felt, un- der the present economic conditions that the fish in the lake would con- stitute a good food source for fisher- men as well as to help avoid any such contamination as would be likely if fish were left to die in the water. The letter from the local board in- timates to the state health authorities that prohibition of the fishing privi- leges would very likely result in the deterioration of the water.

OPEN BREAK HAS BEEN AVERTED (Continued from First Page). Landino, and Zucker and taken indicates somewhat of a change in the viewpoint of the body as a whole. In turning over the entire question to the league, the supreme council has requested the league’s council “to consider the matter as of the utmost urgency and to, make its report at the earliest time possible.” Justice Is Done. Just before Lloyd George left the council, Selicitor- General Pollock and Comymander Talcott, the British dele- gates to the trials of persons ac- cused of war crimes which were tried by the German court at Leipsic, ap- peared before the counci! and pre- sented their report, which had been commuricated to Lloyd George last night. The report stated that it was considered justice had been done at the Leipsic trials as regarded the English cases, with the exception that the sentences were:too lenient in one or two instances, but that justice had not been done in the French and Belgian cases. The reports declared that it -ap- peared to be impossible to take pro- ceedings to reopen and retry the cases, for many reasons, including the great costs and the dropping of the matter was advocated. The action taken by the council after hearing the reports was to re- quest the allied representatives who had attended the -Leipsic trials to make reports to their ‘governments concerning what attitude they judged ‘the allied countries -should adopt toward this German court. Will Accept Decision. “The decision ot the supreme coun- cil to present the question of Upper Silesia for advice to the council of the league of nations,” says the Havas Agency, specified it will adopt as its own the decisions of league's coun- cil. “It was when Premier Briand and Minister Loucheur informed Premier Lloyd George that the French council of ministers considered that conces- slons of president other than adop- tion of the Sforza line in Upper Silesia were impossible that the British pre- mer proposed the arbitration of the league of nations in order not to break up the entente, opinion in the two countries having taken too decided a position for a compromise’ solution that either would acegpt.” ‘1 Deaths and Funerals.
