FISH AND GAME LAWS.

Some important changes were made m
the fish and game laws by the Legisla
ture. ard citizens are wondering just
when they are liable 10 violate some new
restriction. 1t is important in the first
place to note that county or deputy ASA
and game warders may arrest on view IN
any place in the State a person found
violating provision Of the FISH and game
law and retain the offender in custody AZ
the expense of the state until opportunity
is given to a complaining or informing
officer to institute a prosecution against
such offender.

State between September 10 and May /

the law is that the provision named shall
not apply to trout artincially Matched or

A NEW CuITTENDEN COUNTY JAIL.


The act Of the Legislature, passed last
fall, providing for the erection of new
Jail for Chittenden county authorizes the
levying by the county judges of tax
not 20 exceed five per cent. of the grand
list Of the county for this purpose on
or before the first day Of July. 1901 1903,
treasurer on or before September IL. of
the year, in addition to the amount which
may be otherwise assessed by the as
sistant Judges for the purpose of rebuild
ing, repairing or erecting a county jail
Jail dwelling, barn and jail yard, and
a site for the same, if the building COM
missionors deem 1t for the public good
to secure new site.
The act constitutes Thomas Reeves Of
Burlington, J. W. Lavigne of Colchester
and f. G.. Nichols of Richmond building
to repair the present Jail and Jail dwol-
ling and remove the barn to make room
for jail yard. The commissioners arc
authorized to cxpend not to exceed the
amount of the three taxes of five per
cont. each, not including whatever sum
may be realized from the sale of the pres
deem it wise TO change the site of the
Jail. In event Of a change OF this char
acter the building commissioners are
authorized to make out the necessary
legal papers for q transfer of the title
Of the present Jail property, and also
TO acquire title to a new site.
to make such loans as may be necessary
from time to time for the payment Of
such expenses as may be incurred in
carrying out the provisions of the act
If the commissioners are unable to Sc
cure by purchase n suitable site, then
they may enter upon any land in the
city of Burlington, not public property
rs in their judgment the public good
may require, and they must award to
the owner of the land such compensa ton
as they deem Just. If the owner of the
land so taken is dissatisfied with the talk
ing or with the sum awarded as COM
pcnsation. the aEgrieved party may ap-
peal to the Chittenden county court
within a prescribed period in which
case the court is to appoint three dis
Interested parties as commissioners to
make an award, but this appeal can
not delay the work of the building COM
missioners. 1t is also provided that the
owenr of land may take the sum
awarded by the building commissioners
without losing the right of appeal, pro-
vided proper notice is given.
The opinion has prevailed that the
present site was not large enough to
provide for suitable TAIL yard such as
jais for the exercise Of prisoners, and
in view of the increasing disposition
to cause Jail prisoners to work az some
thing in order to help bear the expense
of their sustenance this may become a
still more important consideration. II the
present Jail barn were to be removed it is
possible that the present site might be
used. but there are still other considera-
lions which are being taken into account
that may eventually determine the ques-
ton whether TO change the location Of
the Jail in Burlington.

Every family, says the Lidsborg

would positively ring tonight, and
every night if needed. These cur
Jews are inexpensive and are home
made. Take a piece of siding two
feet long and white one end down to
a handle, take the child that needs the
curfew and bend it over a barrel. Now
take the siding in hand and use it as
a clapper. Put it on hot, divide the
strokes evenly and see that none miss.
Good for boy or girl up to age Of
