BILL IF PASSED
MEANS NO FENCE
Representative Futch Would Repeal Bill
Which Prescrlbes Legal Fence.
(sy JOHN c. TRIcEl


TALLAHASSEE, May 20.-What comes
close to being state wide no fence law
is the bill proposed by Representative
Futch Of Lake county, repeating section
1855 OF the revised general statutes. This
is the law, the first section Of which
prescribes a legal fence while the second
section is virtually to the effect that
whenever stock breaks through fence,
the fence is presumed not to be legal
fence. Not being legal fence, the
owner of the stock is not responsible for
the damage done by his stock while, If
the onwer of the land gets hot at the
damage done and shoots a hog or a
steer, the onus is on him, not on the
owner of the stock. In other, words the
old law against trespass is abrogated by
this statute which was passed in 1885.
Representative Futch's bill repeats this
section. II enacted into law It would
bring back the common law ruling as
to trespass and the stock owner would
have to take care of his stock instead
of the land owner having to keep the
stock out.
Representative Crofton of Washington
saw this when the bill came up on sec
ond reading and made an unsuccessful
effort to kill it. He will rally around
him the forces Of the free range men
and there will be an effort to kill the
bill when it comes up on third reading.
Representative Futch will try to pass it
and there Is sure to be merry fight.

Whereas, the improvement and de-
velopment of our rivers and harbors
to meet the ever growing demands of
the commerce of the country, both
coastwise and foreign, is not only the
duty but the proper function of the
federal government; and
Whereas, the harbor at Tampa, by
reason of its geographical position
and it's commercial advantages is one
Of the most important harbors in the
country; and
Whereas, said harbor, although it
has been greatly improved by the fed
era1 government, needs further i'm
provements, SO as to give channel
depth of not less than 80 feet with
suitable width and turning basins;
therefore:
Be it Resolved by the Legislature of
the State of Florida, That the senators
and representatives from the state of
Florida in the United States congress
be and they are hereby respectfully re-
quested to make every effort to have
not only the q foot project heretofore
adopted by congress carried to an
early completion, but also to induce
congress to provide an additional pro-
| ject increasing the depth of said chan
mel from the gulf to the head of the
estuary at Tampa to at least 80 feet,
| with the necessary width and turning
| basins.
Resolved Further, That the secre-

rected to furnish copy of this reso-
luton, under the great seal of the

the bill and Representative Phillips Of
fered an, amendment to strike out the
term Rule of Shelly's CASE wherever

The great danger in such legisla-

that Congress, by raising the tax rate
