SHADLESS DELAWARE LOOMS TO FISHERMEN Government Must Restock the Stream With Young Fish, Assert Rivermen ' Shad fishermen along the Delaware ;j fear that unless the government takes ,f, some. notion toward restocking the river with young fish, the fluid will disap pear entirely from the waters. They nssert further that the sewerage and pollution of the river is driving the shad from their old haunts' into clearer wafers. They point out that not enough fish (have been caught this jenr between Philadelphia and the Breakwater to prqvide sufficient spawn to keep the hatchery at Torresdale busy, and say spawn will have to be obtained from southern waters. Fishermen are powerless to supply the increased demand for shad, which is now up to $3 per plate at Jersey planked shad dinner hotels. Fishermen opernting nets at Camden, Gloucester, Billingsport and other nearby places said today that the run of shad this season is the poorest they have ever known. At Bayside, Iennsville and New Cas tle fair catches have been made, but uot enough to meet expenses or to supply demand. The fish nrc bringing high prices and no, roe shad can be obtained under $2 or $2.50. Captain John McLaughlin, of Glou cester, said today he has not caught a shad this week.
