lating To the snine,
There are some among the legislators
who are opposed 10 so much legislation in
the way of protecting the many small ponds
from fishing each by some law that may
and frequently does differ from the law that
affects neightoring pond. They say it
would be necessary in ease these laws are
oil passed to have u map Of the state show
ing all the numerous bodies of water and
under zach the law pertaining
thereto The opposition is con
-iierlng the feasibility of asking the com
iai,tee 10 allow the matter to tic on the table
until they can get mp some remonstrunccs.
Whether this will be done remains to he
seen, however.
