Mr.. HINCkLEY of South Port

take any time in discussing the gen.
eral question: only just a word Gs
to this amendment. Under the act 1t
will be necessary for a resident to
make an application every year for
this license. understood the pro-
ponents of this bill-and I am going
to accept what they said at its face
value-that the only object of the Ii
cense was for the purpose of identifi-

this amendment. I. Is good so long ms
the holder remains a resident Of this
State. and that will identify him just

Mr.. HINCKLEY: Mr.. Speaker,
perhaps some do not understand. II
