The licensing of all gunners, whether
residents or non-residents of the state, is
one of the recommendations made by the
state fish and game commissioners in their
annual report to Governor Fort for the
fiscal year ending October 81. For the
purpose of carrying this into effect the
commission will have a bill introduced at
the next session of the legislature provid-
ng for small resident license fee. This
they believe will not only prove a source
of considerable revenue to the state, but
will go far toward protecting game Of all
kinds from the humiliation which threatens
number of species, This plan Is not
likely to succeed as the average Jersey
man objects to paying for license for
perhaps single days cunning inian entire
season.
John A. Roebling's Sons Company has
completed arrangements for the removal
from Trenton to the new town OF Roeb-
ling that part of their business connected
with the manufacture of wire cloth. The
principal reason assigned for this action is
that the wirecloth department gives en-
ployment to a large number of women.
The lack of work for women at Roebling
has proved serious handicap in the oper-
alton of the new town, many of the male
employees refusing to stay there because
the women in the families could not get
work. 1t is believed by the Roeblings
that the adjustment of work between the
sexes will be of great advantage to the
small town, also in preventing the men
from making nightly pilgrimages to
Trenton.
