The Committee on Agriculture returned
Mr.. McHenry's bill d. 2i2l ~ amend
the act concerning the RAINING At large OF
stock, with recommendation that IL DC in
definitely postponed
Mr.. McHENRY moved to recommit the
bill to the Committee on County and Town
ship Business. He said: I want to call the
attention OF the House 10 this bill. The law
IS u now stands makes IL the duty of any
person TO take up any animal running at
large, and the resull is, az no one likes to
make an enemy OF his neighbor, that almost
al kinds of animals are RAINING at large in
discriminatory. II appears to me thst IL
men with level heads give fair consider
alton TO the provisions Of this bill, which
provides for Supervisors and fxes q penalty
for allowing animals 10 run at large, that
they will not sustain the report of the CON-
mittee.
Mr.. BROWNING preferred the law as it is
TO this bill, which proposes TO constitute the
Supervisor as sort Of smelling com mittee.
Mr. SMITH, of Eppecanoe did not wieh
70 see the bill strangled, but it is an iE-
portsnt measure, and should be carefully
considered.
Mr.. MOODY: 1 hope the report OF the
committee will not be concurred in by the
House. If the House refuses to concur in
the report of the committee, then the bill
will remain on the Speakers table, and can
be taken up At any tins and its merits dis.
concuTr5d IN, then this bill is killed. and in
al human probability it will be the end OF
q legislation on this question. The pres
eDt law seems to be fair and satisfactory.
The Board of County Commissioners may,
by order, provide what kind. If any. stock
may run at large, but when they make sn
order restraining stock from Running at
large the order is usually of little effect for
the reason there is no law making it the
duty Of any person to enforce the Law. This
bill provides that it shall be the duty Of the
Township Supervisors TO take up all stock
found running at large. Now what could
be more proper than to clothe these gentle
men, whose duty it is to look after the high
ways with authority to take up al stock
roaming about, and thereby carry out the
law IS intended. trust the report OF the
committee wilInot be concurred in.
The motion 10 rec0mmit was laid on the
table and the House refused to concur in
the reportc, The committee.
