allow the County Commissioners to
paw certain fees which Chesters SIT

attitude IN this respect IS interesting'
inasnuch as the finance and police
committees are making an investsa-
tion with the view OF reporting an
ordinance at the next meeting ol
Councils fixing the salary Of the po-
lice magistrate while acting for the

Mr. Geary bases his attitude on the
act OF Assembly which provides that
an fines, costs and other fees received
by the police magistrate shall be turn
ed into the city treasury, and that
each month he shall make statement
to the city controller.
When Mr.. Geary went over the

LANDS POSTED
AGAINST GUNNERS
Many Trespass Notices on
Farms Throughout the
r County

With the hunting season fast ap-
preaching and with men and boys
from Wilmington planning to get into
the woods and fields In search Of game
II may interest all nimrods to know
that they are subject to certain laws
governing hunting which some of them
at least forget OF overlook from one
season to another Most important
ie the trespaHs law. Farmers and
other land owners may, under pro-
visions Of the law. prevent any person
walking over or upon their lands by
posting notices warning all persons
from trespassinc thereon. The notices
must be placed In conspicuous places
Of the land 10 be effective.
Already many farms throughout
the county are placarded and year by
year the land which may be hunted
over grows less in extent This Is due
for the most parts to the fact that tho
farmers fear to permit hunters on
their land lest their property be de-
stroyed by fire or otherwise. Hunters
Of the amateur kind who go on the
land OF farmers are likely to set fire
TO barns and other buildings and
break down fences or do other mis-
chief.
To protect themselves and their prop
critics the farmers take advantage Of
the law which prohibits trespassing
and the reckless or careless hunter ia
partly responsible for the passage OF
/ the law
Another law In which hunters arc in
terested Is that relating to forest fires.
This law was passed by the last Legis-
lature for the purpose OF protecting the
/ forest OF the State from destruction
/ from fires set by careless hunters and
/ others. In the hunting season with
the woods filled with hunters. whose
only desire is to kill game. there aro
certain TO be many fires started IN
the woods and thoughtlessly left to
burn or be impcrfectly extinguished.
To put an end TO this the law Furnishes
those responsible for the fires. II
eventually tho hunter Is excluded from
farmers lands It vii have been the
result OF their disregard for the rights
OF other people.

acres by anyone declaring his inten-
