we would be laying ourselves liable for
| having Holsters in our possession which
| were not of required length.
ION the other hand, 1 cannot see but
| what l am liable under a penalty of one
dollar a pound for the meat after taken
from the shell of those Holsters, as |
am giving the same to my party free
| of charge, as the law requires that the
meat shall not be given away or eX-
posed or offered for sale after the same
shall have been taken from the shell.
consequently on the whole 1 cannot
see but what am under the new law
| laying myself doubly liable, notwith
standing the Holsters were of required
| length. I fail to see any way to clear
| the law with the exception of swallow
| ing the Holsters whole, shells and all,
not even broken in pieces, even though
| they may be of required length.
Il notice a clause in the second SEN
tence of the amendment of the lobster
| law which we do not understand. 1t
reads as follows: "All Holsters or part
of lobster sold for use in this State or
| for export therefrom must be sold and
delivered in the SHE'LL
Il would be pleased to be enlight-
ened as to the meaning of parts of
| Holsters. 1t appears very much to me
| like mutiation. If so, why is not one
part of this law conflicting with the
other? AS l understand the meaning
of this clause it appears as though
there is an opening whereby one may
sell Holsters in parts or in other words
mutilated. and clear the law, providing
they are sold in the SHELF
| The passage of the law for the better
education of youth during the recent
session of the Legislature will cost the
State about $4,000 year. This law pro-
vides that students in small towns
where high schools of standard grade
are not maintained, are entitled to at
| tend any high school in the State with
out being obliged to pay his or her
tuition. This expense is born equally
| by the towns where such students re-
side and by the State not exceeding $50
| a year for each student Not quite
half the towns in the State maintain
| high schools, so that the chances are
that the student rolls in these schools
will be largely augmented by the oper-
| alton of this law.
Gov. Hill has designated Friday;
