Recommends surety bonds.
The state ha~ several cases pending in
the courts against surelies on official bonds.
The prosecution of these cases has been at
tended with great expense, and has con-
: tinued for several years. In the interim
, some of the sureties hive died, many have
become insovent and lhe chances for ult-
mate recovery on the bonds seem to be
growing less 1t Is the exception and not
the rule that personll bonds have been

I h5nd at a cost incommensurate with his
salary submit that the law should permit
corporate surety bonds to be given in all
cases where bond is required and should

is required.
$ The game. song and other insectivorous
{ (hirds are the property of the state and are
being ruthlessly slaughtered. | therefore
y recommend that the laws for the protection

a their exportation from the state, and to
u provde for ;t state game warden, whose
dutv il shall be to see that violators of the
law are duly prosecuted.
