mittee on appropriations concerning
the appropriations of money. In every

had the merit of being in behalf of fit
ting tributes to worthy men and insti-
tutions.
The only reason for reporting ad-
versely was the excess of estimated ex-
penditure over estimated receipts for
the next two years. --s..-..

field at Antietem Senator Converse,
chairman of the committee, made an
explanation of the position taken by
the committee. He said the estimated
revenues for the next two years were
$40S5,000, and the estimated expenditure

and aisles.
Senator Kendall explained the neces-
sity for the bill and it was passed.
Bill indefinitely postponed by the
house, making the trout fishing season
from April Is to July /. Senator Con-
verse moved to concur in rejection, and
Senator Lewis, chairman of the fisher
les committee, moved an amendment,
ending the season June is. The senate
refused to indefinitely postpone, and
adopted Senator Lewis amendment.
Senator Wright offered further
amendment, the effect of which would
be to allow owners of breeding or stock
ed ponds to take trout at any time for
table sale.
Senator Lee suggested that there
should be a restriction in the matter of
streams not strictly private. The TAX
ing of fish from water stocked by the
state should not be allowed.

ment would allow the owner of the
posted part of the stream to take trout
running in the stream.
Senator Wright then changed his
amendment so as to apply only to
ponds.
Senator Kendall said that April Is to
June Is is acceptable to fishermen, and
if the bill is left in that shape without
further amendment, it would pass the
house.
