THE DISTRICTS BOUNDARIES.
4 DcIimitriion Requested by the
Fish aud Game Association.

DIR. W. =. Young. Secretary OF the Fish
and Game Protection Association Of The
District, in lengthy letter forwarded to
the Commissioners yesterday. through
Major sylvester. who is the Game Warden
of the District. asks that the boundaries
of the District, particularly on the west
or river side, be defined. He requests that
an opinion be obtained from the highest
legal authority so That a definite under
standing may be reached
Previous opinions rs to the boundary.
he says. have differed so widely that the
jurisdiction Of The District authorities has
never been definitely established.
The object of establishing a boundary
is to enable the District authorities TO de-
termine TO Just what extent their jurisdic-
ton reaches in enforcing the game and
fish law. IL is significantly pointed to
that up TO the present time there has
been practically no enforcement of the fish
and game laws. simply because of the
question arising in the matter that is now
hoped TO be finally settled.
