MadisOn.-The Madison paving DIS
came up for the fourth round in the
sembly, received a knockout blow
and took the count. Breeze terrace,
University avenue and the street
around the capitol heating plant will
not be paved through aid from the
general fund. 1t is possible that the
streets abutting on university proper
ty will be taken care of out of a spe-
cial university appropriation, but this
is doubtful All three bills came up
for reconsideration. One of them was
refused reconsideration while the
other two were granted recOnsidera-
ton and then killed by decisive votes
One of the features in the session
was the passage of Assemblyman

ton but it was not effectual and the

the senate. Mr. Gilbertson secured
passage of his bill permitting land
agents to get reduced rates on rail

Assemblyman Hansen made a last
desperate effort to save his bill to
prohibit corporal punishment in
schools. The assembly failed to agree
with him and decided to reserve &c
the teacher the time-honored custom
of furnishing the bad boy in school
An hour-long debate on the pro
priety and advisable of permitting
the SEEMING of carp and other rough
fish under special license made it
plain that this question has leaped
into prominence suddenly as matter
Of statewide moment. instead of be
ing a purely local matter. The Fisher
bill to add Koshkonong, Mendoza.
Monona and Waubesa lakes in Dane,
Rock and Jefferson counties to the
list of those in which fishing for carp
may not be licensed came before the
house with a half-dozen amendments,
some of which added certain other
lakes in which members desired to
protect the game fish from destruc-
ton by the operation of carp seines.
During the debate new point
against allowing the practice was
brought out by Assemblyman Gettle
and seconded by others. that the pro
fessional seiners are working under
law which requires large meShed
net. and that by this means the small
err carp are not caught, but are left
to propagate and keep the streams
stocked with this most prolific field
for fortune making.
Assemblymen Gettle and Roessler
both called attention to the enormous
profits that accrue from the business,
which was disclosed in recent litiga-
ton in Jefferson county. There three
men cleaned up $4,000 each in lit
tie over year. after paying all eX-
penses In telling how one OF those
three came to share in those profits.
Mr. Roessler said that this third party
was taken into partnership after he
had sought vainly for a license to
carp fish from the then state game
warden (Rickeman) and after eX-
Governor Hoard and others had
brought pressure to bear on the
game warden" to get the man his Ii
cense
