In giving this state to the public, the superintendant thinks it necessary to take notice, that though there appears but 107 1. 13 s. 2 d. over and above the capital of 3500l. yet it is to be considered, that there were at the drawing up of this sketch 23 fish machines paid for, and then in use, besides including the sundry expences as above to the 30th of September last; and this appears to him beyond what he could have expected from such an undertaking in its infancy, and with the many difficulties to be encountered. It is moreover to be observed, that the above sum of 3607 1. 13 s. 2 d. is not to be understood as cash in hand, the whole being engaged by the superintendant for the purposes of supporting and extending this undertaking, by opening some other ports on the sea coast, for procuring a greater variety of fish, which the town seems to desire and expect; and to that end he has now in use 54 machines, besides 26 made and making, to complete the number 80; with which, and such further encouragement as the public may think proper to give, fish of inferior sorts may be brought for the benefit of labouring persons at moderate prices; more especially if he shall be assisted with a proper place of general sale, where dealers and hawkers may be supplied out of the quantities that may occasionally be brought, beyond what the present established place of sale can find vent for, agreeable to his original plan; the want of which has hitherto heen the greatest disadvantage he has laboured under in the prosecution of this undertaking.
