As Capt. Tim pointed out, there are very good reasons to license the aquatherms. You are changing the Lake with the machines and if there is a problem it is a method to contact the owners who may be anywhere. What's more, if I see a "thin ice" sign on a totally frozen in dock it is a way to let the owner know so that he can fix his kaput machine.

One thing that is very stupid is the $.50 fee. I have to pay my town clerk for five minutes of her valuable time and the town of Moultonberry nabs a whopping half-buck! Maybe a more reasonable fee should be considered.

I take all of my clients permits, fill them out and hand them in all at the same tie to save the town clerk's time.

When asked by some of my people if it is really necessary I remind them that someday there may be a moratorium on aquatherms and the permit documents your grandfather.
