Mr.. FERGUSON of Shapleigh: Mr..
Speaker, l offer House Amendment A
to strike out the word York" in Seq
ton l line 4.
| offer this amendment for the fol-
lowing reasons: The last Legislature
put close time on black and gray
squirrels for d period of four years, Ii
has now run but two years and l claim
that the squirrels have had no ade-
.Iuate benent OF the law. Gray squirrels
were nearly eXterminated in York
county when the close time was put
on.
The law will be off in two years
without legislation. 1t adds to the at
tractivencss of country life to have
live squirrels rather than dead ones
Again gray squirrel is helplessly ex-
posed to u deadly shot by reason Of
it's color and it's habit of running up
a tree when startled. / nope this Leg
islature will give time to recuperate.
