Central Maine General Hospital.
The resolve presented Tuesday, in favor

for an appropriation of $4,000 annually
for the years '95 and 90 and S2O, 900 for
a building fund provided an equal sum

Resolve for Fish and Game Appropriations.
The resolve introduced by Mr. Haines
of Waterville is: "That the sum of $50,
600 is hereby appropriated to be expended
by the commissioners of inland fisheries
and game, under the direction of the Gov
ernor and Council, for the year 1895, and
also $50, 900 for the year 1896, for the sole
purpose of the proper enforcement of the
inland fish and game laws and to aid in
the propagation of inland fish and game. ("
In the accompanying statement of facts
it is said that the present system of en-
forcement is obnoxious and provokes
hostility to our laws. 1t is argued that
with the increased influx Of sportsmen
some additional measures for maintaining
the amount of fish and game must be
adopted.
"We cannot see how this great
interest can be protected and made of
continual value, without changing our
warden system and expanding more
money to increase the food fish in waters
now unstockcd and providing against the
decrease of the same in waters where they
now exist.
In closing, the Maine Sportsmen's Fish
and Game Association says:
"We do not think that the association is
recommending a larger appropriation than
the interests involved will warrant, when
it cannot be denied that this amount is
only per cent. of the amount now an
nually received from sportsmen from out
of the State without considering the benz
fit to resident sportsmen, the numbers of
which are annually increasing"
The statement is signed by the associa-
ton scommittec on legislation, +. f. Tim
berlake, A. NJ. Spear, J. F. Sprague, E. c.
Harrington, L. T. Carleton.
