LAW CHANGES
Response From QuestiOnnair-
es Shows Many in Favor
of PheaSants
RABBITS AND QUAIL, TOO

Possibility that delaware game
laws will have to be changed soon
was indicated when results of the
first survey of public opinion ever
taken by the Delaware Game and
Fish Commission was announced.
Leonard K. Yerger, president of
the commission, announced the
commission is considering bringing
into Delaware an experienced game
manager, who would undertake the
restocking of Delaware wild life
and seek a better relationship be-
tween farmers and sportsmen. He
would be able to make a study of
Delaware wild life and suggest
changes in Delaware laws that will
bring better game preservation.
The commission found various
groups and game protective asso-
Citations in favor of a game man.
ager whose duties also would in
clude education and control of ver-
min. The other two members of
the commission are Wilbert Raw
ley of Kent County and ]. Clifton
Maull, of Sussex County. The re-
turns from about 1000 of the 12,-
900 questionnaires mailed out show
that 2,835 persons are in favor of
restocking pheasants this year
compared to 975 opposed. The
question about an open season on
these birds this year showed 1885
in favor and 1,O59 opposed.
A total of 2,104 persons are in
favor of the present open season
on gray squirrel, compared to 1854
opposed. The question whether the
season should be the same as the
rabbit and quail showed 1872 in
favor and 2,015 against. A major
ity of 2,O59 persons were in favor
of removing the skunk from the
list of protected game animals and
majority of 1920 were in favor
of removing the gray fox from the
protected list.
The tabulation also showed that
2,480 persons were in favor of the
commission paying bounty for
gray fox, as compared to 1882 who
are opposed to the idea. A total
Of 3,074 persons are in favor of
paying a bounty on hawks and
owls as compared to 657 opposed.
A total of 1905 persons found
more game in 1886 than they did in
1885, while 2,452 found less. Rab-
Its were reported scarce by $500
persons living outside of Whining
ton, and 27O persons reported rab-
bits plentiful. The same question
on quail showed 2,735 persons
found a scarcity, lille ESQ found
them plentiful.
Rabbit hunting ranked first, with
1920 persons, quail was first with
,293 persons, squirrel was first
with $50 persons, duck, 284; pheas-
ant, 204; coon, 159, and fox, "a.
Mr.. Yerger said the purpose OF
the QUESTIONABLE was to assist in
determining long-term program
for restoration of wild life. The
tabulation is so arranged that the
state can be separated into groups
and the vote given for each of the
districts. The vote was also brok-
en- up into counties. This addi-
tional information was tabulated
so that the money derived from the
sale Of licenses and other sources
Of the commission can go toward
the particular steps approved by
the county or district.

PUBLIC OWNING
OF TRANSIT CO.
ASKED BY GROUP
Retaliation Urged to

BY A. ]. DRISCOLL

Public ownership of the Capital
Transit Company as the only So
luton to traffic needs, was urged
last night by a group of Govern
ment employees and civic leaders,
who concurred in a resolution
by Mrs. Margaret Hopkins Wor-
rail-, president of the Columbia
Heights Citizens Association.
The group met in the old In
terror Department building to pro-
test the recent fare increase, and
called for a rate of three tokens
for Is cents, instead of six for so
cents.
PUG CHANGE URGED
If the company we're taken over
either by the Federal Government
or District Government, at value
of $13,0O0,000, presented as its
true value, instead of $23 900,
as placed by the Public Utilities
Commission, improved service and
lower fares would follow, the as
Sembly argued.
A resolution by Alfred D. Cal
vert, president of Lincoln Park
Citizens Association, asking reor-
ganization of the Public Utilities
Commission, was approved, along
with a motion for restoration Of
the office of peoples counsel.
Action followed a report from
the resolutions committee, con-
sisting of Samuel LipkowitZ, Ar
