Q, Was it desirable to have such marked outlines that it was capa- 

 ble of examination ? 

 A. It is my opinion decidedly so. 

 Q. That is all. 



By Mr. Hitt: 



Q. I wanted to ask you one question in connection with a question 

 that I asked before; since I have read over this act of 1885 to see if 

 this is the only law on that subject, I read from page 4 in section 9: 

 " Forest commission may, from time to time, prescribe rules or regula- 

 tions, and may, from time to time, alter or amend the same, affecting 

 the whole or any part of the forest preserve, and for its use, care and 

 administration; but neither such rules or regulations, nor anything 

 herein contained, shall prevent or operate or prevent the free use of any 

 road, stream or water as the same may have been heretofore used, or as 

 may be reasonably required in the prosecution of any lawful busi- 

 ness;" now section 10 reads: "The forest warden, forest inspectors, 

 foresters and other persons acting upon the forest preserve under the 

 written employment of the forest warden or of the forest commission, 

 may, without warrant, arrest any person found upon the forest pre- 

 serve violating any of the provisions of this act; but in case of such 

 arrest the person making the arrest shall forthwith take the person 

 arrested before the nearest magistrate having jurisdiction to issue 

 warrants in such case, and there make, or procure to be made, a com- 

 plaint in writing, upon which complaint the magistrate shall act as 

 the case may require;" is that the only law there is? 



A. Yes, sir; I was aware of that provision. 



Q. I didn't know that it was ? 



A That was all there was, and you see the careful provision there 

 in regard to streams and, waters. 



Q. Further on they prohibited railroads doing certain things, and 

 then: "Any railroad company violating the provisions or requirements 

 of this act shall be liable to a fine of $100 for each offense," but does 

 not prescribe anywhere any punishment for the violation of any of 

 the rules ? 



A. Not at all. 



Gross-examination. 

 By Mr. Adams: 



Q. Did the commission, as an official act, ever make any rules and 

 regulations; under the section which is read by Mr. Hitt? 



A. Not otherwise than as previously stated in regard to fires and 

 girdling of trees.
