The Illinois state fish commission has filed a report with the governor covering two years ending Sept 30, 1896. It notes distribution of food fishes such as black bass and crappies and coarser varieties like carp and buffalo, with totals for several rivers and lakes. Expenditures totaled 21 834 dollars and new fishways were added at Kampville and La Grange on the Illinois river and near Mount Carmel on the Wabash river. The panel envisions hatching houses at Elgin and Kankakee and urges stocking Pecatonica and Yellow creeks in coming years.
