1876.] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. 335
D., 1876, a resolution was passed, declaring the necessity of
the erection of a fish-way over the Great Falls of the Poto-
mac, and urging action by the United States Commissioners,
of Fish and Fisheries.
And whereas, It appears from the report of the Commis-
sioners of Fisheries of this State, that it is entirely practica-
ble to erect a fish-way at that point.
Be it resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
the Senators of this State be instructed, and its Representa-
tives in Congress requested, to urge upon the Congress of the
United States, the passage of such measures as will secure
the erection of the same by the government of the United
States, and the appropriation of the necessary funds for such
purpose.
And be it further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
and preamble be sent to the Senators and Representatives of
this State, in the Congress of the United States, and to the
Governors of the States hereinbefore named, with the request
to lay the same before the Legislatures of their respective-
States.
Which were read a first time.
The hour having arrived for taking up the order of the
day,
The House proceeded to the consideration of the bill enti-
tled an Act to amend the charter of the Worcester Railroad
Company and its supplements.
The question recurring upon the following amendment
submitted by Mr. Goldsborough on the 3d instant:

ment,
