State Commissioner Attends
Banquet of Wayne County
Game and Fish Protective
Association.

The only way that we can ever
hope to conserve wild life is to inter
est the sportsmen In the protection of
the fish and game"
e. G. Shireman commissioner of
fisheries and game for Indiana, made
this statement when he spoke at the
banquet Of the Wayne County Game
and Protective association at the l. o.
o. f. hall last night.
when the people get educated as to
the need Of certain game and fish pro-
tectiye laws, they will obey them. AS
il is now, they look upon such laws
as taking away some of their inherent
rights
Education is Needed.
This education can be brought
about through associations such as
this, and | am now trying to effect
similar organizations in every county.
1T is an utter impossibility for me
and my thirty-one deputies to police
the entire state because 10000 men
would be required to come any place
near Of catching all the violators.
People are ignorant of the game
and fish laws. | was in Governor
Ralston's office one day when friend
Of his came in and told about violating
every game law on the statute books
of Indiana. The man did not know
that he had violated a law"
Advocates Fishing Licenses.
The speaker also asked for the aid
Of the association in getting a law
passed which would require fishermen
as well as hunters to have licenses
when fishing in their own or adjacent
counties. The game commission is
supported mainly by the hunters and
in turn most of the money is spent to
aid fishing.
II this change were made, it would
mean much more money for the COM
mission and would make possible the
liberating of many Chinese Ringneck
pheasants annually for the benefit of
the hunters.
He said that he was also trying to
get law enacted which would make
a board of state commissioners instead
of single one. This board would
serve for no salary and the terms
would be so arranged so that the ma
jority Of members would have been in
service over two years.
John Holiday presided at the meet
ing. Daughters of Rebekah served the
fish supper.

that there will be any increase in good
feeling toward utilities" chuckled
Wier.
The company's engineer made this
rather startling statement when he
vas somewhat aroused because or
questions which had been fired at him
by City Attorney w. A. Bond.
But you valued this electric light
plant at considerably more than the
city paid for it, did you not? ques-
toned Bond.
Explains His Valuation.
Il valued the property at what 1t
was worth to the owner and not what
1t was worth to the purchaser" re-
torted Wier.
Wier testified that Richmond Is not
a good gas town and expressed doubt
whether there ever would be an in
crease in the average amount of gas,
per meter, used by the consumers OF
the Richmond Light, Heat and Power
Company.
There is not town in the United
States where such bitter and vindic-
tive feeling exists against public utili-

gogues. And with such a feeling there
is not town in the United States
which is as undesirable place for a
public utility to operate and such a
feeling is sure to have an effect on
the amount Of gas consumed. Fewer
citizens will use the service where
such condition exists.
Attorney Bond Ignored.
There Is not a word of truth in
such statement" shouted Bond, but
the witness gave the city attorney S
volunteered declaration no attention.
THE company had little to do with
this feeling against it, answered
Wier in response to further question
ing by Bond.
so the company has been an angel
serving long suffering people" said
Bond, but the witness made no reply.
Wier, being nonresident of. Rich
mond was asked to tell how he learn
ed of any public feeling against Rich
mond utilities.

answered.
Richmond in the past two years."
asked the city attorney
II have been there ten or fifteen
days. | kept my ears and eyes open
and my mouth shut and learned
much" he said.
Wier's statement about the city be-
ing bunkoed in the purchase of the
private company's light plant caused
Bond to question him concerning his
attitude toward municipal plants.
Politics Big Factor.
Most municipal plants-99 per
cent of them-are run for political pur-
poses" declared Wier.
Wier has placed a reproduction new
value on the gas property of $907 Jag
and present value Of $S41, 1858. He ad-
mitted however, that a recent court
decision will cause him to revise his
figures, subtracting the value of the
uncut pavements over mains.
The commissions engineers have
fixed $512,S40 as the reproduction new
value and $40S,165 as the present val
ue.
Questions Involved.
An important question to be decid-
ed by the commission in arriving at it's
conclusions is whether the value of
the artificial gas plant, used before
the introduction of the natural gas,
shall be considered in the fixing of
rates 1t Is said that the commission S
engineers included valuation on the
portion of the plant which may be
used for the manufacture of water gas
in case Of an emergency, but did not
consider the coal gas plant. The COM
pany's engineers are said to have in
cluded the full value of the utility's
artificial plant

TO LIMIT
HEIGHT0
BUILDINGS
Structures Over Six Stories
Not to be Permitted by
New Ordinance

II the new building ordinance, the
first reading of which was nearly
completed at a special meeting of the
board of city commissioners this
morning. is passed by the city commits
sion as it stands. no building over six
stories can be erected in the city.
1t is the claim OF the commissioners
that a building over that height con-
structed in the business district for
Office purposes would cause the vaca-
ton of a large number of the second
stories of the buildings now, occu-
,pied, and that Fargo has not reached
ia stage in it's deveI0pment where
buildings over six stories IN height
would be desirable. When the city
reaches a stage where Sky -scrapers"
are necessary, the ordinance can
be amended to meet the require
ment.
The ordinance was first presented
with a five-story limit, but Commis-
sioners r. 3. Blakemore and J. H.
Dahl believe that six stories would
not be too large, and would meet the
requirements for number of years
to come. The other commissioners
believe that this would be satisfac-
tory.
There are few changes to be made
in the ordinance before it will be de-
clared on it's first reading. 1t is expec-
| ted that these matters will be taken
lpp at the earliest date possible in or
der to, get the ordinance through or
les second reading and final passage
as soon as is consistent.

WOULD BETTER ClTY'S
SANITARY CONDITIONS

A new ordinance, governing the
construction or use of outside toilets,
was placed on it's first reading before
the board of city commissioners this
morning, which IL passed will prevent
the building or the use of any outside
toilet in the city of Fargo within $50
feet of any street or avenue where
there are water and sewer facilities.
The ordinance will repeal all of the
ordinance in effect now and will
not make compulsory the construc-
tion of concrete vaults in outside
toilets in localities where water and
sewer facilities are not available under
the ordinance The health officer holds
that concreted vaults in outside toilets
are more dangerous than those that
are not concrEted and for this reason
the provision for concrete construction
was left out.
