That 5O-cent fishing license which
so many people think is a hardship
will put the state game and fish de-
partment on a better basis. 1t will
also help collect the So nonresident
license as the outsiders will not be
able to "bull' the wardens by the
statement that they live, lin Mime
sofa. All the fish license money will
90 into the fund for the maintenance
of the department and not into the
state treasury as has the game
license funds. The department has
been compelled to beg IA pittance
yearly from a niggardly legislature
for the maintenance of it's depart
ment. The administration of the
game and fish commission, the hiring
of wardens. restocking of lakes and
streams, has had the department up
in the air on several occasions to
make both ends meet. Jay O. uld
and his efficient administration will
have something more to work with,
as it is expected that the fish license
money will be no small matter.

A Summary of State and County
Highway Bond Issues" which has
been widely published in highway
magazines, motor periodicals and
newspapers, gives $1O0.000,0O0 as
the amount of state highway bonds
authorized in Minnesota. This error
probably comes from the fact that
the State Constitution permits the
Legislature to provide for the. is
suance of $1O,0OO,0OO per year of
highway bonds. The total, however,
is limited to $75,O00,OO0 bonds out
standing at any one time. Further
more, no state highway bonds have
ever been authorized by the Legis-
lature or issued in Minnesota.

The law passed by the last legis-
lature compelling all bicycles to
have head and tail lights was a wise
measure. 1t would have been much
letter had the law also been made
to apply to wagons and sleighs.
Vehicles on the roads at night with
out lights are a menace to both the
autoist as well as to themselves. It
would seem that the driver of a
team would equip his vehicle with
lights for his own protection without
the necessity of a special law cover
ing the same.

DORM|TORY BUILDING
 POSSIBILITY DARKER
May Be Sidetracked by Motor Vehicle Dept.
 Structure
Special 10 The IIerald)

Hartford, March 29-The bill presented in the senate today by Senator Edward r. Hall of New Britain for the appointment of d committee to consider the adyisa hil'ty or q separate building .or the state motor vehicle department is regarded as definitely sidctracking any appropriation for the erection Of q dormitory at the normal school m New Britain this year.
 It is generally acknowledged that the motor vehicle department has outgrown it's quarters in the capitol building and something must be done in the line of an appropriation for separate building. The pur- chase of a site and the construction Of new quarters would mean 2 heavy drain on the appropriations committee and if the sum is forth coming other measures calling for large amounts will go by the board for the time being.
 Tho only chance for tho s50O,OO appropriation for normal school dormltory would be in the form Of n bond issue for that amount and it is considered unlikely that the legis- lators will sanction a wild orgy Of spending this session.
