MONTPELIER, Nov. As was predicted
the Senate and House effected an amicabe
adjustment OF the election recess question by
ad journing from this afternoon until We'd
| nesday afternoon.
The Joint committee on fish and game
reported to the Senate general hi II on the
subject.
The bill opens Ivy defining various terms,
such as Laughing, ~ ''close season. private
| preserve ''puUic waters, - etc. This bill
! practically rewrites the entire chapter of
fish aud game laws repeating by cnumera-
tlon everything which is entered the
statute books relating to fish and game.
The CHIEF changes from our present laws
are that the commissioners shall be appoint
cd for four years instead Of for five and the
Office OF tie commissioners BhGli expire
alternately go tLat thore will bs
one appointment made Diennially. The com
missioners are required to make Il report Of
| their actions and exs enditures. All hatch
| ing stRtiOns now under or operated
! by the State or such as may be hereafter
established, are placed in their control.
Waters stocked by the fish commissioners
shall thereafter be treated public waters
and the commissioners huye no authority to
place ish in private or posted waters.
The provision about wardens gives them
iurisd elton of the State, whether appointed
bv the commissioners or the aeiectmen. The
fish wardens arc Rlso game wardeus and in
ali prosecutions, instituted by them they are
entitled to one half OF the fines.
The laws for tho protection of fish are
not changed materially, but hook and line
fishing will be permitted in Lake Champlan
at all seasons OF the year except that there
is close season on black bass from January
to June 10. The close for trout is
unchanged and the six inch law is re
enacted.
The commissioners arc authorized to
license seninE in the northern part of the
lake in certain territory which is defined at
such times and 50 long as Canadian
fishermen ore permitted to enjoy
thia nriviioce These liceuses viii
be granted by tie heh and game com
missioners with apeclGl reference TO the
Canadian laws on the same subject and in
the manner best suited to give res dents of
Vermont the same rights and privileges at
all times, with reGpect to seine fishing in
Lake Champlain az are had by persons fish
ing with Sc mes under the laws OF the Dom-
iuion Of Canada The commissioners have
entire control over these licenses and can
revoke them at any time when it is deemed
advisable
No material changes are made in the
game laws. The close season ia proposed
for the protection of rabbits, heres and
muskrats. For birds, the open season on
partrijges is made from September 10Th to
January 10th, thus eX,enling tue close sea-
son one month and days. 1t Is also
\ proposed to protect puegsAnts from tho 2Oth
of November in on year to the LIST of Dc
tober in IA succeeding year. Some of the
ing laws have been eliminated. the joint
committee are unanIm- in making this
r'port and it is also endorsed by the Stat
les, u aud the State fish commission.
