GAME WARDEN WALLACE
 TALKS OF NEW GAME LAW
Law Will Not Become Effective Until New Code Is Pub
 aaH.A


 During the past few weeks the edi- tor of The Advertiser has received many letters from different points in the State in regard to the new game law. and the following interview with State Game Warden Wallace, was ob- tained for those who are interested:
 There seems to be some misunder- standing in some sections of the State about the provisions of the game law. Under date of March 21, 1907, I re- ceived an opinion from Hon. Alex M. Garber Attorney General, which is as follows: s-
 '"I have your favor of the 18th inst, requesting me to advise you when the game law, approved February 19, 1907, goes into effect The only provisions in the act regarding the time 1t shall take effect is found in Section S0 as follows: It shall be unlawful for any person, after the approval of this act, to hunt outside of the voting precinct, ward or beat in which he actually re- sides without first obtaining license permitting him to do so.'
 Section 32 makes similar provision in reference to hunting outside the limits of the county. Penal statutes do not take effect until thirty days after the adjournment of the Legis- lature at which they are passed. un- less otherwise specifically provided in the act, Code Section 5b4O. The pro- vision quoted above from Section 30 Is a sufficient expression of the leg islative intention that the penal pro- visions of the act should go into im- mediate effect, and I therefore so ad- wise you.
 "A large number of people of Ala bama have been appriseda of the fact that some changes have been made in the open seasons on the game birds and animals by the new Code, which was adopted by the Legislature. These changes are as follows: Doves. Au- gust 1st to March 1st, following; ducks, September 18th to April 1st, following; wild turkey gobblers, De- cember 1st to April 1st, following; squirrels, August 1st to February 1st, following.
 "The impression seems to have gone abroad that the changes above cited went into immediate effect, but as every lawyer knows, the new code will not be effective until it is printed and ready for distribution and until the Governor issues his proclamation proclaiming\ 1t to be the law.
 q consulted with Judge Mayfield this morning. who is our Code Com missioner, and he informed me that the new code would be ready for distri- button about January 1st. It will thus be seen that the old dates as publish ed in the game law. approved Febru- ary 19. 1907. will obtain until the new code becomes effective.

AGREED ON LICENSES.

The Finance Committee of the City Council met yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the City Hall, and passed upon matters to be considered at the Council meeting tonight. The princi- pal matter of interest to come to the attention of the Aldermen was the license schedule, the tax rate bill also meeting with some discussion.
 The committee agreed on the license schedules. after a perusal. and ordered its report tonight. The tax rate bill, however, in which an increase of one eighth per cent is asked for, did not meet with the opinions of all hence it is doubtful if any recommendation will be made concerning it. It Is quite probable, however. that the bill will be introduced along with the license schedule.
