Protection for Black Bass.
Some of the Nutmeg solon's who in
days gone by assisted in framing the
notorious “bear” and “hen” laws, which
were a dead-latter from their inception,
says the New Haven Palladium, are.
now endeavoring to undo the work of
all sportsmen who have been interested
inthe culture of the smallsmouthed
black bass in Connecticut waters for a
number of years. ‘
By a judicious and wise protection of'
this fish in spawning time, viz: from
May 1 to June 15. Connecticut has ac-
quired the reputatiOn Of one Of the
best states in . New England where
sportsmen may seek, with a fair chance
of successfthé capture of a good string
of bass. It is now proposed , however, ,
to limit the close season to the month
Of May, which would interfere not
only in the capture of fish that were
heavy with spawn, but also in thede-
struction of countless fry, which are
greedily preyed upon‘by other fish.
The young bass travel in schools
from the time of hatching until they
are three months old, and are guarded
by the parent fish, as is the case with
the catfish and bullhead. Deprived of
their natural’guardian they become an
easy prey not only to ravenous fishes,
but to ducks, ,minks, etc., which will
destroy more fish in one day than all
the fishermen in the state may take by
legitimate means in five years.
Lengthen the close season instead of
shortening it. 'Protect the fishfrom
May 1 to July 15, thus giving the fish
who frequent cold rivers and ponds a
chance to propagate their young, and
making Connecticut a paradise for the
angler whb pursues that gamiest of all
fish, the small-mouthed black bass. ‘
Consolidation.”
There is a growing belief that some
people iii this town have nursed their
parochial ambitions about long enough,
and that the elements of a “greater”
Norwalk should be welded into one ir-
respective of the wishes of these gen-
tlemen. Those who believe in less
taxes, or rather in better results from
the expenditure - of public money,
should favor consolidation. Those who
believe in having a city commensurate
with our wealth, population and ad-
vantages, one that would compare fa-
vorably with her sister cities, and one
that would have something behind it
beside a name, should stand up and
be counted for consolidatiOn. If we
could hearthe ridicule and contempt
heaped upon us by outsiders because
of our childish antics to keep apart we
would blush to have it'known that we
had ever even rode through Norwalk.
We understand that an attempt, and
a serious one, is being madeto bring
about a consolidation of the three Nor-
walks, and we hope it will be crowned
with success.
in all directions; aslit is now South
N orwalk cannot grow northward or,
eastward, Norwalk cannot grow south- '
ward, and East Norwalk prefers 'her
present status unless she can‘become
part of the city of Norwalk. A city in-
cluding the more thickly settled parts
of the town has a future before it lim-
ited-as toarea only by the t0wn bound-
aries, and if the occasion warranted we
could go over to Westport some day
and take in that place before the peo-
ple had got over their usual afternoon
nap. , ' -
Those who have the framing of the’
new city charter can, if they desire,
give us an organic law that will help
the progress Of the city. In thefirst
place let us get rid of that abomination
known as “farming lands” and have
land taXed upon, its market value irre-
spective of its actual use, so that neith-
er greed'nor' sentiment shall stand in
the way'of progressor a full city treas-
ury- Unless some way is devised to
cure the “landlmisers” of their habits
the city will grow slowly. Our several
water commissioners could be dispensed
with and the supervision of the Works
and the collection of revenues should
be attended to directly by the city.
Our streets should ”be paved and our-
sewers. built by partial assessments.
Power to condemn land for parks
should be obtained : fire limits and
building inspectors should be provided
for so that fire traps could not be built
and old rookeries could be demolished.
Our mayor should be elected for two
years, and one half- of the-.'conii:ci:l
should retire ' each 'yes'r. We don’t

Eckels, as already annoupced, intends

Hale and Wood were appointed, mem-
bers Of the conference committee on
the electric street railway bill. Lees
unsuccessfully tried to have'StOddard
substituted for Hale.
The Judiciary committee reported
favorably a bill against the defacement
of natural scenery by signs. It prO-_
vides a maximum penalty of $100 and
six months for the placing of paper or
any advertising device upon any tree,
rock or structure on the highway, or
on any private property“ without the
consent of the owner. This should sup-
pres the patent medicine man and the
crank who goes about printing Scriptur-
al texts and pious exhortat‘ionspn rocks.
The committee on constitutional‘
amendments favorably reported a bill
increasrng the pay of members of the
General Assembly to $500 a year and
provrding transportation by the state.

er’s petition for woman sufi'rage, and
also unfavorable on bill providing that =
the Senate shall consist of 25 members
representing districts equal in popula-
tion. . Tuesday afternoon the commit-
tee were_1n 'eXecutive" session on the
bill creating theoflice of stateattorney

viding that clergyman of all denomina-
tions shall be on the same footing as
regards'access to county homes for
poor children and the imparting of re-
ligious instructions therein. There
was also passed an act that cities of
20,000 inhabitants or more shall pro-
vide police matrons, and a resolution
appropriating $2,000 to the hospital
board of Fitch’s Soldiers’ home,the in-
come to be used in furnishing inmates
needing it with the Keeley cure. _
The Temperance committee recom-
.mended repeal of that section of the
general statutes which requires per-
sons arrested for intoxication to tell
the court where they obtained their
liquor. The committee think inebria-
tes often give the names of innocent
parties.
The School Fund committee favored
placing the schoolfund at $210,000. A
bill_ reported favorably requires town
registrars of vital statistics to complete
town records from Jan. 1, 1850, from
the best data available.
The House receded and concurred
with the Senate in rejecting the resolu-
tion favoring the annexation of the
Hawaiian Island which it had previous-
ly passed. .
