Senate document No. 1928, reports A,
| B and of committee on judiciary, on
bill relating to fish and fisheries, especi-
ally assigned for today, was taken from
| the table
Mr. Higgins of York: I desire to call
| the attention of the Senate to the fact
that report A is signed by five members of
the judiciary committee The purport
of that report is that they deem legislation
| inexpedient under present circumstances
and conditions This matter is so i'm
portant, and the views of the committee
were SO div arse that we believed it better
not to legislate at all at the present time.
do not propose to go into the merits of
the matter now l merely call the at
tcntion of the Senate to the fact that where
would seem reasonable under the circum-
stances that we should make no change,
because if we did we should probably
make the matter worse than it is at pre-
sent / therefore move the adoption of
report A.
Mr. Hill of Kennebec: / move to
amend the motion of the senator from
York by substituting therein report for
report A. / believe that general law
should be provided to relieve the Legisla-
ture of so much of this private legislation.
l have here petitions signed by nearly TO-
600 sportsmen and people interested in
our fish and game laws. asking for this
legislation. / believe that it is q step in
the right direction, and that it would
tend to do away with a large number of
special acts that are so often asked for to
protect special streams and ponds.
MIR. Hume of Washington asked for
further information on these various re-
ports. and stated that he, for one, was
open to conviction in the matter.
Mr.. Savage of Androscoggin: move,
as q substitute Tor both motions, that re-
port C be adopted ! reply TO the senator
