CRAFNANT LAKE FISHERY. (To the Editor of tho" PiOlleer.") ,Sir,-Your report of tlie 28th May of the dis- oussion which place at the Llanrwst Ur- ban District C«>uncil aa iO the prop-osa! to grant powers over the rig-ht of tho fishery in Crafnant Lake to all Angling Association of Llanrwst and Trefriw districts was very care- fully considered! by the oommittee, and as ohair- man I have beel; requested to criiioi** and an- swer a few of the comments which were 111 ado at the Council meeting. The (juestion of improving the fishery was dvaeus.-<ed as far back as 1896 by the old Parish Council, when it was decided to purchase eel baskets and to tiLke other stops to destroy the large cannibal iisih. Mothing was done. When the Urban District Council MTL-i formed a simi- lar dlecidon wad conic to, but it ended in talk. The fishery is undoubtedly a valuable asset to the neghbourhood 1. properly nursed, and "houId prt^dnoe more to tlie ratepayers than the wretched C3 per armurn which it. now does. The Jake w within easy distance of the town, and is delig'ht-fuly situated. The fishery oan be ma.de an important one for the benetit. of the neighbourhood, bat "E very body'3 business is nobody's business" has be-c-n the policy up to NOW. Unfortunately, they are no anglere on th> Council, and a body of persons in tho pursuit and people of considerable importance as ratepayers have for mod thennx;lves into a committee and offered to carry out. what the Council haa hitlierto neglected to do. At the only public meeting caJled, those present vote<t unaninwrnsly in favour of the proposal. At the Council meeting a deputation wow most favour- ably received, and at a joint committee of tho L Association, and representatives of the Coun- cil the proposed scheme, aftor gioat deliberation and some alterations, was most favourably adopted. I think I mentioned in one speech which 1 rmado that "no opposition was ominous." 1 tm afraid I was a true prophet. We have plenty of it now. The professional fisiternieti-liko the swallows—hav3 returned and they get a better outside l*earing than tine true anglers. I a^n glad to think that nearly all the level- headed man on the Council are with us, and can realise that it is not ''self-interest" that we de- sire to support Wo aro certa.inly not "wholly disinterested," but we have a right as large ratepayers to re- ply to Mr Parry that we fully appreciate what Nvo a.re aiming at in tho interest of t II* neigh- bourhood. Mr Mills cannot perceive any bene- fit that can aocrue in inducing strange^ to to our valley and to occupy lodging houses. Perhaps he knows of a more entiicing kind of bai t! 0 The moat, important point perhaps in the Council's discussion, is that or permanency of tenure- I pass over the ridiculous suggestion as to pollution because how can putting III t) a lake extra fell pollute, unless indeed the word mollusca" mentioned in the scheme has alarmed the worthy councillor who made the suggestion. With reference to the tenure, is it reasonable to suppose for a moment that an association will invest in money in a venture which has no pecuritv of tenure? I am itK'iuiod to believe that those who made the suggestion have rlever studied the proposed sclieme. They may have read it. The Council has a right of representation, it can veto any breach of conditions whioh are fully stated in the scheme. I fully L-ope that the Council will believe that trie Association, is in earnest and that their in- tention is an honest one, meant to benefit the members as sportsmen and ratepayers, and tii4t they will co-operate without delay in aruer to carry the scheme through thi.-i year as much has yet to be done to arrange with adjoining owners and conservators, and also to form a.nd register the Association.—Yours faithfully, J. E. HUMPHREYS, Chairman of the Association-
