that has been so carefully nursed and

be a good sized delegation oi‘our citl

ing to total on the town a ridiculous
project, expensivo to an extent almost
unbelievable. can be seen in its true
light. deep regret is expressed that the
public could have been so led astray
under the guise of patriotism.
Conservative estimates show that
thelleast cost of the property on the
north side or the bridge would be 362.

total of 3147.100. with “1.200 for tht

a grand total of $188,300. Since them

increased valuations have been placed
on the property. so that now the call

I .Fsrmsrs and Fish and Game Ilsa
Appear Before Legislative
Committee
HARTFORD. Feb. 15.~The question
as whether or not the closed season
Ior quail and partridge should be short
cued was debuted at length at a'lisar-
lug before the committee on fish and
game. Over 100 were present repre-
senting the farmers and fish and gums
clubs, also a number ol’ game wardens.
The open season at present is from
October l to December ill.
Practically every man present at
the hearing spoke for or against
shortening the season and opinions
were pretty evenly divided. A report
was received that partridge are more
than holding their own in i-‘Iiirileld
county, notwithstanding that there are
twice as many hunters as in 1885. Dr.
E. 1". Johnson of New Haven, declared
that Connecticut has the poorest rec-
ord of any state in the union. oceani-
ing to figures of the Audubon club in
game propagation. lie declared that
in a few years partridge and quail
will be extinct. “ii is not the iault oi’
foxes." he said. "it is on account of
ltho ruthless killing by amateur hunt-
mnn should be It game.
are. Every
protector." he continued. "The state
should say who can use ilrearms and
go hunting. (live quail and paltridgc
a chance by shortening the season. "
Another opinion expressed was that
llhcre are game luws enough,
they are not enforced
Mr Hunter of Oxford advocated a
law making hunting possible only on
. certain days of the week. As the law
now stands he said. he is obliged to
i look daily after his property and needs

were shot by nuclear hunters evi-
dcntly having been taken for deer.
