JURORS’ AND WITNESS’ FEES RE-
DUCED—TROUT LIMIT 20 A DAY
—DEER LAW CHANGED CON-
CERNING CAMPS |
The pen of Governor Pinchot created
new laws for Pennsylvanians last week.
Three of them concern jurors, witness-
es, fishermen and hunters.
Here they are:
Fees Reduced
The Scott law reduces fees and ex-
penses for jurys and witnesses. The act
reduces jurors’ fees from $4 to $3 a day
and limits their traveling costs to six
cents a mile. It reduces witnesses’ fees
from $3 to $2 a day and limits travel-
ing costs to three cents a mile.
Trout Limit Reduced
The Rhodes (Monroe) bill provides
that the limit of trout a fisherman may
catch in one day shall be 20 instead of
25.
The act becomes effective September
1, a month after the close of the present
trout season.
Deer Law Changed
The Ederer bill revises the deer kill
limit to provide six to a camp instead
of one to a hunter and six to a camp.
It will permit a hunter, if a member
of a camp, to kill more than one deer
so long as the camp’s kill does not ex-
ceed six. Under the previous law a
hunter who was a member of a camp
could not shoot at a deer after he had
killed one,
