LOCAL LEGIsLATIoS.-Mr. Lee was granted
leave to introduce bill to amend the local
laws Of Carroll county, relative to the aims.
house.
The bill to empower Manchester. Carroll
county, to subscribe to the stock of the Bal
timore and Hanover railroad company was
received from the Senate, with an amend
ment, which was concurred in and the bill
again passed by yeas and nays.
The bill to amend section 6, chapter 341
act 1872, relating TO hawks and owls in this
county, has passed both houses.
The Baltimore Morning Herald, Of
Wednesday, says Senator Lees bill Telat-
ing to hawks and owls in Carroll county, was
the subject Of considerable pleasantly in the
Senate when it came up for a third reading
and final passage. On the question being
put, Senator Bannon rose TO his feet with
great dignity, and in solemn manner said !:
" This is bill of the utmost importance, and
before / vote for its passage / should like to
ask the Senator from Carroll fMr. Leel the
object Of the bill, and tAe condition of the
birds in his county"
Mr.. Lee responded that the bill called for
the repeal of law which had been in exist
ence for some time, and which provided for
the payment of q decdpitdfion tax for all
hawks and owls killed in the county, and that
the law had become burdensome.
Mr.. Bannon said s'If this is a measure of
economy win let it pass. Laughter
While the vote was being taken, Mr.. Hum
phries wanted It understood that he voted for
the bill only because it repealed decapita-
ton tax. When Mr.. Steiner's name was
reached he wanted to know whether the bill
was to provide for the production of hawks
and owls, and called upon the Senator from
Carroll for information and for further
reading of the bill.
Mr., Lee said the law, as it originally stood
upon the statute book, only provided for an
IncoHie for those who had nothing better to
do than to shoot hawks and owls. Amidst
universal laughter, Reading Clerk Hiss read
the bill again and it was passed.
