REPORT OB^ THE FISH AND GAME COMMISSION. 63 were deposited in natural feeding grounds under conditions as nearly perfect as it was possible to find. Several million of the fry are held each season in the large ponds at Sisson Station, where they are carefully looked after and fed until they are about eight months old; then they are distributed in the Klamath and Sacramento rivers early in the fall. A record of the numbers and place of distribution of these plants will be found in the statistical report of distribution from Sisson Hatchery. During the fall of 1914, the commission decided to construct another hatchery building on the grounds of the Sisson Station to enable them. Fig. 43. Hatchery "A" at Sisson. Photograph by G. R. Field. to hold the fry so they could attain a better growth by giving them less crowding and more trough space. Accordingly, plans were made by the Department of Hatcheries, which the board approved. The plans called for a building 190 feet long and 42 feet wide, to contain 148 hatching troughs. As the expense of constructing this hatchery was over one thousand dollars, we had to have the work carried on under the supervision of the State Department of Engineering. This was to comply with a recently enacted law. To allow us to carry out our plans of constructing this building, W. F. McClure, State Engineer, kindly appointed the superintendent of hatcheries a deputy state engi- neer to construct the building. The work was rushed and the building completed in time to receive part of the salmon eggs from the Bureau of Fisheries' stations during the latter part of the hatch of salmon eggs for the season of 1914 (see Fig. 44)..
