Excerpt from Forty-Sixth Annual Report of the Commissioners of Inland Fisheries: Made to the General Assembly at Its January Session, 1916 These considerations have led your Commission, for the past two years to seriously consider the advisability of constructing a small fresh-water hatchery as the best means of supplying this growing need of our State. A need which is not confined to the Sportsman alone, but to every individual in our State who enjoys a day's outing on the banks of one of our beautiful streams or ponds with the pleasure and satisfaction of catching a good mess of fish. At a moderate initial outlay sufficient to cover the purchase of the site and the construction of artificial ponds. A hatchery suitable for our needs could be built. A location could be obtained close to our present marine hatchery at Wickford which would enable us to use - to a great extent - the men already employed there. Then at a Small annual expenditure many times the number of fish which we can now supply would be available for the waters of our State.
