10 the Honorable Scaate ant Hpuse "a
ReiTese Rtatifes
Seven bills. duly enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives, relating to
the protection of fish in Various ponds and
streams of the State, are before me for my
approval. ! have already approved five
acts during the session applicable to
the same subject matter, three of
which are repeating acts, and two
of the same repeal acts passed at the
last session of the Legislature. The his
tory of this legislation shows that many of
these special acts are passed at one session
of the Legislature and repealed at another.
This legislation is accommodating so
rapidly that ! deem it proper
to suggest to the lcgisla-
viding by general laws for the regulation
of matters of this character. There is un-
der our constitution express provision for
such legislation. The commissioners of
inland fisheries might properly be author
lied upon petition by Il certain number Of
persons, and after hearing, to regulate the
time of taking fish in the various waters,
subject 10 existing laws, aud the enforce
mcnt of such regulations may be secured
by appropriate penalties. These special
acts in the past have been frequently
enacted without the general know ledge of
the community affected. Under the pro-
posed method those in the vicinity would
have an opportunity to be heard, AMI more
satisfactory results reached than under the
present course of legislative hearings
held so far distan, from the communities 10
be affected that they cannot incur the ex-
peDse of attending such hearings. The
course proposed would give all citizens in
the vicinity of the waters designed to be
protected an opportunity 10 be fully heard.
The Executive will be pleased to cooper
ate with the Legislature in any reasonable
measures that will relieve us from this mass
of special legislation, and at the same time
carefully guard the interests Of the public
and fully protect the inland waters of the
State. llLSHY i. CLEAyEs, Governor.
On motion of Mr.. Swanton of Sagadahoc
this communication was referred to the
committee on inland fisheries.
On motion of Mr.. Mallet of Cumhcr,
land, the Senate adjourned.
