The offices of the Department of Sea and Shore Fisheries were moved Friday to new headquarters at the Depositor's Trust Co. building in Boothbay Harbor. Commissioner Arthur R. Greenleaf said the Rockland boat and machine shop would stay, and that private and state groups including the State Police eyed the vacated Main Street site. He cited easier access for fishermen and dealers as the main reason, noting Boothbay lies near the center of major fishing activity and halfway between Portland and Rockland. The move aims to improve industry conditions and foster a long term hatchery program with federal cooperation. Chief clerk Mrs. Frank Hallowell and staff will continue in Boothbay.
