Incense law is IN grave danger Of be-
ing wiped off the books.
Senator Furniss. who had intro
duced the resolution, explained To
20 tne House that II had been given
70 MN BY a Dover Republican and
there was nothing partisan in it. He
thought the sending OF a committee
most economical plan.
Representative Evans opposed the
sending of a committee. There has
been persistent and unfadins lobby
in here in behalf Of the game laws. F"
he said. 1T Is absolutely impossible
TO propagate game. and il was proved
before the committee that they have
less pheasants at the farm now than
when they started. We have heard
Of game, game, all session. think
the burial of the whole thing is in
order and now is q good time 10 start
digging. We have wasted a lot Of
time on this subject, which | contend
is trihing."
Representative Rash favored send
ing a committee, as did Representa-
tive Hall, in order to hear from them
what is being done at the State Game
Preserve.

report back to the Legislature" said
Representative Jones. What Mr..
Evans says is only hearsay."

mitted they cannot do what they
started out to do" said Mr.. Lether-
bury. What is the use OF going
there?"
Senator Furniss said he under
stood from a constituent that the
farm is not what 1t is represented
Let us send a committee to find out, I"
he added. "Our people are up
against as on this game law proposi-
ton"
Representative Evans said he saw
in the trip Of a committee 10 the
game farm a further hold-up Of ac-
tion on some bills.
Representative Downward said he
thought smaller committee would
be preferable. and Representative
Elliott thought one or two members
would be a sufficient committee.
"A committee going to see the farm
won't change the votes Of the Sussex
members" said Representative Ken
ney, Just before the vote was taken.
After the resolution was killed,
some of the House members talked OF
having a committee of three Repre-

appointed by the presiding officers,
to visit the game preserve and re-
port back to the Legislature.
