The report of the Committee of Conference on Assembly bill No. 125—To

Mr. President: The Committee of
Conference upon the disagreement of
the two Houses as to the amendments
to section 11, as now numbered, of Assembly bill No. 125—entitled an Act
to protect Agriculture, and to prevent
the trespassing of animals upon private property in the counties of Fresno,
Tulare, Kern, Ventura, Santa Barbara,
San Luis Obispo and Monterey—
beg leave respectfully to report that
after a careful and dispassionate examination of the subject of this disagreement they recommend, in lieu of
the two amendments not concurred in
or agreed to by the two Houses, the
adoption of the following words to be
added at the end of Section 11 as now
agreed to by the two Houses, as being
most likely to reconcile the opposing
interests: The words to be added to
said Section 11 are as follows: "And
shall take effect and be in force in all
those portions of Tulare and Kern
counties not above described, and in
the counties of San Luis Obispo and
Monterey on the 26th day of June,
1874."

The report was adopted.
