By resolution the board authorized
the executive agent to turn over to the
state board of control all game. which
may in future be confiscated, provided
that the board of control shall pay all
expenses for transportation and stor-
age of the game after seizure This
action is prompted by law Of last
winter, which provides that all con-
hscated game must be turned over to
the charitable institutions Of the state.
The recent announcement of the 500
road that it will resist any search of
its cars by game wardenS unless the
wardenS are provided with search war
rants, was discussed at some length
and referred to Executive Agent Full
erton. MIR. Fullerton was requested to
see the officers of the road, and the
members We're of the opinion that the
matter could be amicably settled.
A resolution was adopted instructing
the secretary to notify, the water board
of 1the city that a. f1shway must be
constructed in the dam between Gem
.terville and Peltier lakes. Former COM
munications have, been sent to the
water board on this subject, but here
tofore without result. The water
board has taken the ground that the
lakes in question are neither nayigable
bodies. of water nor public property,
but are private reservoirs of the water
department The commission argues
that the lakes are public property and
| that the water department has no legal
| right to- dam the, water without pre-
yldtngl a, fishway. There is some pros
pect of the matter going to the courts
for settlement.
