smith Disapproves Raising Licenses.
ALBANY. May Sow Smith has dis
approved the bill which seeks to raise
from 10 cents to % cents the fec TO the
county, city and town clerk for the issu-
anee Of hunting and trapping licenses.
In his veto Gov. Smith says: This con-
stitutes an additional tax upon the man
seeking tho license. IL this Ia to be the
State should receive the benont. In many
Instances these fees go to the clerk himself.
The bill puts an additional burden upon
him, and fail to see any reason for the
additional compensation. The bill L. there
fore disapproved."
