Game Sanctuary
Sought at Bangor

CITY Solicitor George j.. Eaton of
Bangor Appeared before the committee
i'll favor of the act to establish a game
sanctuary in the city of Bangor. The
proposed sanctuary would he bounded
on the south by the southerly line Of
Bangor. ON the east by the Penohscot
river and Kenduskeag stream ON the
north by Hammond street and on the
west by the westerly lire of the city.
The bill was introduced by Senator Ia
Der ID. Bailey of Penobscot.
Attorney Eaton presented an order
passed by the city council of Bangor
urging the delegation in the Legislature
TO vote for the passage of the act. He
said that the precedent was established
10y the last Legislature when it voted
to create game sanctuary on the east
side of the river in Augusta and that
the proposed act was patterned after
the law creating the Augusta pre-
Se.ve.
Attorney Eaton said that sOmc of the
residents of Bangor residing in this
proposed sanctua.s had been annoyed
by stray bullets.
Rep. c. G.. Chalmers of Bangor said
that he appeared both as a proponcnt
and an opponent of the measure. He
said that within a half mile of where
he lived the boys and men hunted par
fridge and woodcocl. and he did not
want that section included in the sane
tuary. In other words. Rep. Chalmers
objected to section two of the act
which would empower the commission
er of inland fisheries and game to en-
large the territory Of this sanctuary
pom the written consent of the owners
of the land to be included.
Attorney Eaton said there was no
objection to the elimination of the sec
Ond section of the act and Rep. Chal-
mcrS was satisfied.

Seek Acceptance
New Ballot Box

Il. ID. Tolman of Worcester, Mass,
manufacturer of the ballet boxes
used in the Bay state, appeared be-
fore the committee on legal affairs
Thursday afternoon in favor of an
act providing fore the adoption OF
these boxes by the State of Maine.
The Massachusetts box registers and
and endorses every ballot cast, so
that when the voting is over the
number of ballots cast II every pre-
cinct is shown by the counter at
tached to the box.
Under the provisions of the act the
cities and towns would pay for the
boxes, and it was estimated that the
total cost for the whole State would
be about $4,000.
No one spoke against the act. but
members Of the committee ques-
toned Mr.. Tolman at length and
some Of the suggested that it should
be left to the discretion of NUM-
cipalities with respect to the adop
ton of the new boxes. This idea
was combatted by Mr.. Tolman, how
ever on the ground that it would
cause a miX-up in case there should
ever he a general recount.
When it was pointed out to him
that even with these boxes there was
4 recount of the Massachusetts sena-
torial vote last fall. +" replied that
in some places lin massachusetts
men who had never added a column
of figures were entrusted with the
job of counting ballots.

spoke in reply to statements by Will
liam Shesong and Dean Earl Cunning
ham of Portland University.
President Kenneth c. NJ. Stills of
Bowdon College. who opened for the
proponents. admitted. in answer to
questions by the committee. that the
bill was aimed particularly at Port
land University. which was granting
the degrees of bachelor of commercial
science and bachelor of sccretarial
science. He said that the four Maine
colleges are granted authority to con-
fer degrees by the Legislature, but
Portland University has been given
that right under the general corpora
ton law.
Mr.. Shesong. defending Portland Uni
versity, declared that it's courses are
similar to those of similar character

chief game warden of Cumberland
county.
Representative Pickett asked why
this should not be made a general law
to apply to other tributaries Of the
lake. William Paul of Naples told Of
the other places in the lake and
tributaries where he had dipped
smelts.
1t was Mr.. Richardson's opinion
that no large quantities OF smelts
are dipped at any other place on the
lake than the place mentioned.
Representative Pickett spoke In
favor of the act permitting the sale
OF small smelts taken in the tribu-
taries to Sebago lake.
In the course of the hearing on this
matter, William Paul of Naples ask
ed Chief Game Warden Colley IL the
fishing is going back or gaining in
Sebago lake, to which Mr. Colley re-
piled that those with whom he talk
ed had said it is gaining. Mr.. Paul
stated his opinion that the fishing is
going bac.1 fast there. Ff
Limiting Catches in Cobbossee Stream
The last matter taken up was the
act to limit to ten pounds fish that
may be taken flOm CobboSSee stream
and come sting ponds, from Cobbos-
seecOntee stream between Collins
dam and the upper dam at Gardiner
including OxboW and Horseshoe pond.
G. ID. Libby of Gardiner stated that
the reason for this act was that large
quantities of fish have been taken
from the streams and sold in the
markets. This has made it harder
for the fishermen having camps near
by to make good catches.
Joseph Bolger Of Augusta ques-
toned MI Libby regarding the linz
its Included in the measure, but upon
being informed that it did not in
clude the whole chain of Cobbossce-
contee lake and streams, offered no
objection. There were no opponents
to the measure.

age and Of the company's defense
that it was on account of the condi-
ton of the screen at the outlet Of the
lake. lie told of the ineffectiveness
of the present screen and of the need
of new one.
There was no opposition.
To Shorten Open Season on Hares
Senator kirschner of AndrOScoggin
appeared in favor Of the act which
would make the open season on wild
hares one month shorter, to- end In
February instead of March. He said
that a number of his constituents
had asked him that this might be
provided for the reason that in Feb
ruary hareS mate and in March run
around in pairs, SO that the hunter
will kill two hares instead Of one.
For the protection of the hares i'll
breeding time, this bill was intro
duced.
Smells at Sebaao
There was some little discussion of
the act prohibiting the dipping of
smelts within 200 feet of Songo Lock
in Naples, Cumberland county. Al.
w. Richardson of Naples spoke in
behalf, stating that that place was a
natural spawning place for smelts,
that he had known of four tons being
dipped out in the spring and sent
away, and he did not think it was
right. When the fish are shipped in
the spring they bring only half the
price that they do in winter and this
dipping out of large quantities makes
the fishing so bad that fisherman
can hardly set a mess.
In answer to question by Repre-
sentative Pickett of Naples, Mr..
Richardson said that the intention of
the act was to protect the large
smells.

Want Close Time on
C0bbOssee Muskrats

Col. William Tudor Gardiner of Gar
diner, member of the lower house from
Gardiner, led the case for the pro-
ponents on acts to prohibit the killing
Of muskrats at Lake Cobbosseecontee
at hearing before the committee on
inland fisheries and game Thursday aft
crnoOn.
II. w. Hildrcth of Gardiner told the
committee he thought it would he a
good idea to place a close time on
muskrats for two years.
There are not many OF these musk
rats left now and they are small, con-
sequently they are worth but half
price" said Mr.. Hildreth.
G. D. Libby of Gardiner also spoke
in favor of a close. time on muskrats.
He said that he was for many years en-
gagged in the fur business and had
bought many muskrats.
And l want to tell you, gentlemen
of the committee that the skins of the
muskrats raised ON the shores OF Lake
being the best handled in the markets
of London" said Mr.. Libby.
For many years." continued Mr..
Libby. Il bought practically the entire
catch of muSkrats on Cobbosee stream,
There would be about 1000 in season.
while the number had now dwindled
down to 800. l believe that a close
time of two years would bring back
the muskrats."
Questioned by Chairman Putnam of
the committee, Mr.. Libby said that he
believed the muSkrats were decreasing
in other parts of Kennebec county.
A T.. Wakefield of Gardiner said that
he had for several years occupied d
cottage on CobbosSec stream. He has
in years past seen Il dozen ar 5 musk
rat houses, while last year he saw but
two of them. lie thought that if some
law was not passed for the protection
of the muskr@ts. it would not be very
long before there would lie no musk
