On motion of Mr.. Thatcher of Penobscot
House document No. Pei. an act relating
| to close time on COW moose. was taken from
the table
Mr.. Thatcher: This is bill in regard
10 close time on cow moose.
As the law now stands no
one is permitted to kill COW moose at any
time of the year under fine of Sloo. 1t
has been thought that if that Law were re-
pealed it would be better protection TO the
| moose than at present, and for this reason
a hunter going into the woods shoots the
first moose that he finds, and ii il is COW
he leaves it and goes of to hunt another
moose. When he kills bull moose he
stops. | have been informed of cases
where the csrcasses of three moose have
been foun'i in the woods, and the way in
which they were left tells the whole
story, Two et them were COW moose, anil
remained as thy were shot, while the third.

am not particularly interested in this
matter, and there are in the Senate parties
who are interested. make no objection
TO the bill now.
Mr.. Winslow of Somerset: agree with
the senator from Penobscot. think this
law would afford Il better protection for
moose than the law as it now stands.
have friends who are hunters, and whose
opinion place reliance in, and il is their
opinion that i, would be for the better pro-
lection of moose if this law were repealed.
The bill was then read second time AMI
passed TO be engrossed.
TN motion of MIR. Thatcher of Penob-
scot, House document No. $50, an act 10
incorporate the How land Bridge Co, was
taken from the table.
Mr.. Mallet of Cumberland: This is n
matter which came before the committee on
ways and bridges, and it relates to bridge
across the Piscataquis river. In one sense
it is a public bridge. and in another sense it
is private bridge. The only objection
have to the bill is that il provides that the
bridge shall be IL feet wide. | think it
should be l. feet wide, and the committee
thought that that would be better in every
way.
The Senate will also notice that the tolls
across this bridge are very much in excess
of the tolls usually charged on toll bridges
in Maine. True, the tolls of the bridge are
very much less than the fees asked by the
ferry COMPANY at the same place. II seems
TO me that is they are going to have a bridge
there ii had better be Il proper bridge, and
the tolls be more like those charged on other
bridges. The tolls on other bridges are
about 80 per cent. less than the tolls asked
of those who travel over this bridge. |
claim that IL feet is not a proper width to
build & bill of that kind think 1t ought to
be Is feet. offer this amendment, to
strike out the word sixteen" and insert in
lieu thereof the word eighteen" AS to
the tolls | don't care so much about that:
that is a local affair, and if the people who
will use the bridge don't care to have the
bill amended in this particular | don't care
about it.
Mr., Thatcher of Penobscot will state
my position upon this bill. In reading
over the charter the tolls seemed to me to
be rather excessive, and sent Il copy of
the charter to several parties in the town of
How land and asked them to express their
views. one of the parties wrote me that he
had showed the charter to several citizens,

much for a single horse team, and suggest
ed that 10 cents would be more equitable.
talked with Representative Coffin, who
represents the company which builds the
bridge. which is the Rowland Falls Pulp
and Paper Co. They are located at the
mouth Of the Pisca:aquis river as it empties
into the Penobscot river, IN the southern
