ANCIENT LAW B0BS UP TO
WORRY AGRICULTURE BOARD
Measure Ordering Ponds and Rcscr-
yoirs Created. Passed In 1897,
Still In Effect.

Special to The World
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 21.-One
Of the old territorial laws which has
not until now been the subject of much
inquiry. Is the cause of considerable
correspondence with the department
of agriculture This has come about
on account of the accessibility Of
stocking ponds ana lakes with fish
since the state has established two
hatcherios, one in Comanche and the
other I'm Bryan counties. The law
was passed by the 1897 legislature. 1t
provided that whore person con-
struct,d a dam and created pond or
reservoir Of water of one or more
acres aud maintained this from the
first Of April to the first of December
he should be entitled 10 a reduction in
taxes of eight dollars for the first
acre. four dollars for the second and
ono dollar for each additional acre.
All that is required is that such
person entitled TO such reduction
should present his proof 10 the county
clerk with two credible witnesses. For
some reason the law does not appear
i'm any Of the revised statutes, tho ac-
cordnE to the department OF agri-
culture IL Is nowhere shown that the
law has been repealed
