In giving this ftate to the public, the fuperintendant thinks it neceffary to take notice, that though there appears but 107 l. 13 s. 2 d. over and above the capital of 3500l. yet it is to be confidered, that there were at the drawing up of this ketch 23 fish machines paid for, and then in ufe, befides including the fundry expences as above to the 30th of September laft; and this appears to him beyond what he could have expected from fuch an undertaking in its infancy, and with the many difficulties to be encountered. It is moreover to be obferved, that the above fum of 36071. 13 s. 2 d. is not to be understood as cafh in hand, the whole being engaged by the fuperintendant for the purposes of fupport. ing and extending this undertaking, by opening fome other ports on the fea coaft, for procuring a greater variety of fish, which the town feems to defire and expect; and to that end he has now in use 54 machines, befides 26 made, and making, to complete the number 80; with which, and fuch further encouragement as the public may think proper to give, fifh of inferior forts may be brought for the benefit of labouring perfons at moderate prices; more efpecially if he fhall be affifted with a proper place of general fale, where dealers and hawkers may be fupplied out of the quantities that may occafionally be brought, beyond what the prefent established place of faie can find vent for, agreeable to his original plan; the want of which has hitherto been the greatest disadvantage he has laboured under in the profecution of this undertaking.
