FISH HATCHERIES
RESIGNATION OF MR J. G. MILLER AFTER 39 YEARS’ SERVICE. After 39 years’ service, Mr J. G. Miller, curator of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society’s fish hatcheries in Masterton, is severing his connection with the society at the end of this month. During his long association with the fish hatcheries Mr Miller has handled many millions of trout fry. When he first took up his work the hatcheries were located in Chapel Street. These had a capacity for rearing one and a half million fry a year and the Pownall Street hatchery could deal with 2,000,000 per year. The society has been considering the closing down of the hatcheries for the duration of the war, but so far as is known no final decision has yet been reached.
