to him as though their jurisdiction was am
biguous. What was their province and fune
tions?
Mr.. Buckingh am-To protect and restore
fish.
Mr.. Dibble-I. is covered by the preamble
OF the Act creating the Commission-the re-
storstion and preservation of fish in the wa.
tiers of the State.
Mr.. Redding-Section CAD of the Political
Code says we are something more than Fish
Commission. We are, according to that sec.
ton, Game Commission also. The present
Commission has taken nc action looking to.
ward the preservation of game.
MIR. Dibble said the last session Of tbs
Legislature relieved the Commission of the
latter duty. There is considerable difficulty
In the way of game protection. The Boards
OF Supervisors Of certain counties have game
powers delegated to them. He thought the
recent action of the Supervisors of Nevada
county was in violation of law, but at the
same time he was confident that juries could
not be secured that would convict.
MIR. Buckingham was of the opinion that
the county government bill relieved the
Commission of the game question.
Mr.. Dibble-This Commission has been
engaged in protecting the fish from destruc-
ton rather than putting fish in the rivers.
The best way, he thought, to stock the
streams and bays is to keep them stocked
with the fish already in them, and stop the
Greeks, Cinnamon and others from unlawful
fishing. The present Commission had spent
over "a, 900 in prosecuting violators of the
fish laws.
Mr.. Redding said he wished to protest
against the manner of adjourning the meet
ing at the last session. 1t was in his opinion
supplementary and unlawful. The motion
I'D lob kahl Ia he 90 hot
it was not simply q motion to adjourn, but
motion to adjourn to date. He read authori-
ties to sustain his statements.
Mr.. Buckingham said he did not care for
the opinion of MIR. Gushing or any one else.
It was his feelings that were hurt, and not
any of the great parliamentarians referred to.
The charge pending at the time referred to
affected his honor, and he held the motion to
adjourn was unbeatable. He did go in order
to allow those who had charges to prefer, an
pie time to make them. AS far as he was
concerned, he desired harmony of action, and
wished the machinery of the Commission to
roll along smoothly.
Mr.. Redding-I simply protested on parli-
amentary law.
Mr.. Dibble-A motion to adjourn is not
debatable. Any remarks made by the mover
himself becomes no part Of the motion. The
act of the Board at the last meeting had been
approved at this meeting, the minutes read
and signed, and further question of the mat
ter is unparliamentsry by the rules laid down
by Gushing.
MIR. Reddiug read from Roberts rules of
order: when a motion to adjourn is un-
qualified it is unbeatable. If qualified
it looses its character, and Is debatabe."
The records show that the basis and reason
for the motion were duly set forth in the mo-
ton.
Mr.. Dibble said, with much warmth: 1t
does seem to me that there is a purpose to
keep up wrangle in the Commission, or else
this matter would not be brought up again. 1
desire harmony.
Mr.. Redding-Hsrmony cannot be MAIN
tanned by such supplementary actions.
j. A. Richardson, late keeper of the Sheb.
ley hatchery, then made report regarding
the disposition of 10000 young trout not &C.
counted for in his last report. He stated that
he had placed 5000 of these in a reservoir in
Nevada county, and that 1000 had been put
into the lakes and streams about Truckee.
Messrs. Dibble and Buckingham compli-
mented Mr.. Richardson upon the manner in
which he had done his work, and the Com
mission adjourned
