INTERESTED IN LAW
New Game Law Authorized
Department To Fix Closed
Season.

Interest in the new game law passed
by the recent congress is manifest in
Wayne county. The department OF ag-
riculture is authorized and directed TO
adopt regulations on the fixing of the
closed seasons. The law reads as fol
lows:
'All wild geese, wild swans, brant,
wild ducks, snipe, plover. woodcock,
rail, wild pigeons and all migratory
game and inSectivorous birds, which
in their northern and southern migra-
tions pass through or remain perma-
nently the entire year within the bord-
ers of any state or territory. shall
hereafter be deemed to be within the
custody and protection of the govern
ment of the United States and shall
not be destroyed or taken contrary TO
regulations hereinafter provided there
for.
The Department of Agriculture is
hereby authorized and directed Ia
adopt suitable regulations to give eff
feet to the previous paragraph by pre-
scribing and fixing closed seasons

perature, breeding habits and times

ciusion, but to do so would mean to
unduly lengthen this communication.
In accordance with the conclusion
which ] have reached, 1 recommend
that this council proceed to exercise
the power and authority given to 1t
by this Act, which of course it cannot
exercise until May 1st, 1912, when this
Act takes effect.
And in order to be ready to take
proper action at that time, l suggest
that a committee of council be appoint
ed to prepare an ordinance to be in
troduced at the first meeting in May,
and that it receive the assistance and
cooperation of such business and COM
mercial organizations in this city and
such citizens as may be able and will
ing to assist in the preparation of
such ordinance covering this question;
and that such ordinance shall en-
brace
First. The quality and character of
the water to be furnished.
Second. The terms and conditions,
which should include rates.
Third. Such additions and extern
sions as are necessary and proper.
Fourth. The location and nature of
such additions and extensions.
Fifth The time within which they
must be completed.
Sixth. The conditions under which
they must be constructed.
Seventh All other matters which
will fully protect the public in it's
rights.
Eighth. That reasonable and proper
penalties be provided for noncohpli-
ance with the provisions of such ordi-
nance.
l think that the Water Works Com
pany should be given an opportunity
to be heard, and that in considering
all these questions due regard must
be had to it's rights as we'll as the
rights of the public. keeping always
in mind that everything that is done
must be reasonable and just to the
company as we'll as to the public in
order to be upheld.
And | further recommend that like
action be taken concerning the supply
of gas whichis now being furnished
to this city and to it's citizens by the
Richmond Light, Heat and Power
Company.
