CUNNERS BEWARE
OF FEDERAL LAWS
State Acts are Superseded by
New National Statutes.

The open season for killing most
of the varieties of game birds and
animals begins under the New Jersey
law on either November 1st or 10th.
but the New Jersey law has been
superseded by the federal law known
as the Mclean act, and the reguuaa-
tions adopted by the department of
agriculture Hereunder, which regula-
tions have been approved by Presi-
dent Wilson. The extreme penalty
for violations under the Mclean act
is a fine not exceeding 500, inn
prisonment for not exceeding ninety
days, or both, in the discretion of
the court.
So little has been published about
the new federal law, and the regu-
lations issued by the department ol
that New Jersey gunners are likely
to follow the state law, that has
been sent broadcast by our fish aud
game commissioners. All migratory
game birds are protected from sun
set to sunrise; female English ring
neck pheasants may not be killed
until November, 1914; many of the
smaller shore birds are protected un-
TIL september, 1918; all insectivorous
birds are protected at all times.
Included in this latter class is the
sprightly bobolink, so popular to all
birdlovers in the spring-time. In the
early fall they have been destroyed
by thousands while feeding on the
reeds of our New Jersey marshes.
At this season they are known as
reed birds hereabouts; farther south
they become rice birds, and other
thousands of them have been killed
yearly. Hereafter they are to be
protected to the great delight OF
thousands.
Jersey sportsmen should heed the
warning to familiarize themselves
with the new law and regulations be-
fore venturing afield with gun and
dog. Copies may be procured from
the Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, ID. c., and no doubt our fish
and game commission will issue a
supplemental directory, to be dis
tributed to all applicants. Now our
game laws may be revised and codi-
fled with some assurance that they
will not be changed every year, as
has been the practice in the past.

SEWER AND FIRE BONDS
BRING TOWN FINE BONUS
N. Y. Life insurance Company Makes
Best Bid and Is Awarded Both
the Issues.

Bids were opened by the board of
aldermen Friday evening on issues
of sewer and fire bonds. The sewer
bonds are for $4,000, five per cent
due in forty years but payable after
ten years. The fire bond issue is of
$4,000 five per cent. due in fifteen
years but payable in five years.
Both issues were awarded to the
New York Life Insurance company
on bid of $103.40 for the sewer
bonds and $101.51 for the fire bonds
with accrued interest in each case.
The town receives $2,931.40 as "a
bonus for the bonds.
Previous issues of sewer bonds
have paid but four and one-half per
cent. and the present state of the
money market is blamed for the ex-
ira half of one per cent the new
issue pays.
Humane Engine company offered
to purchase two of the fire bonds at
the price the board sells them at
and the board authorized the clerk
to ask the Insurance company to let
the fire company have two of the
bonds at the price bid.
