For many kinds of game more or less

season opens Monday, and while trout,
| land locked salmon and a few other va.
rieties Of fish may no longer be taken,
/ the sportsman may mix fishing with
hunting, as pike, pickerel, bass and perch
remain for the angler. The heavy TO-
liage almost effects prescription on
bird hunting for few weeks, but rabbits
may be hunted after tomorrow. Par
tridges are reported to be scarce, but the
action of the state fish and game depart
ment in planting pairs about the inland
ponds as well as Lake Champlain is ex-.
pected to make unusually good duck
hunting. With the approach Of the hunt
ing season, the demand for licenses at
the city clerks Office has quickened per
ceptibly.
Failing to secure satisfaction from the
board of listers in Orange, the city
council will carry its appeal from their
decision to raise the reservoir appraisal
to the board of civil authority in Orange,
which meets within few days A week
ago to-day a number of city officials
went to Orange to protest against rails
ing the quadrennial appraisal Of the res
ervoir property from $3.50 to S40,250.
The listers quoted Tax Commissioner G..
A. Plumley at length in accounting for
their decision, although the protestants
corrected the impression prevailing
among the listers that Barre, especially
its granite industry, is almost wholly
dependent upon the Orange system. This
week the listers filed an answer in which
they stated that the appraisal had not
been reduced, and therefore the appeal is
to be carried higher.
