erect "a neat wooden shed over the
building on Newcastle street occu-
pied by p. J. Olewnie and owned by
Mrs. II. P. Levin
1t was smooth piece OF work
done so quickly that no one knew
that the shed was going up until it
was in position.
AS is well known, it is against the
laws OF the city to have a wooden
shed on Newcastle and certain other
streets. Knowing that if the shed
was erected day by day the work
would be stopped the contractors
built the shed almost entirely before
erecting it, They had it all connect
ed and all that was necessary was to
get four men, place it in position, tut
in one ortwo nails and the shed was
there. therefore the work could not
be stopped.
However the city didn't like this
kind Of work and yesterday w. H.
Bowen, q member Of the firm, was ar
rested charged with violating the city
ordinance and he will be given a
hearing in the municipal court.

tbs LAST DAY
FOR HUNTSMEN \
EXPECTED THAT MANY WILL BE
OUT SOME PROPOSED
CHANCES IN GAME LAW.

Despite the fact that the weather is
! almost too warm for hunting, Il mum
/ Der OF local sportsmen will be out af
ter the quail today, as it is the last
| day of the open season, and after one
last CRACK at the toothsome birds.
the hunters will oil up their guns and
put them aside until next November,
while the dogs win have a good long
rest.
The shooting around Brunswick
this season has been better than dur
ing the past several years, the birds
being more plentiful while the wealth
er conditions weer much better.
Local hunters are now discussing
a number of changes in the game
laws and nearly all of them favor a
reduction in the open season, claim
ing that il should be reduced by at
least two weeks. They also want to
see an active game warden in the
county who will see that the laws
are enforced. While 1t is not gener-
ally known, there is now no laws on
the statues Of Georgia limiting the
number of birds thar one may kill
each day. There is "a law as to
doves, 80 being allowed, but none as
to quail. 1t is hoped that at the
coming session Of the Legislature
number of amendments will be at
tached to the states game laws.
