Executive Order 1126

Under authority vested in me by law, it is ordered:

Section 454 of Act No. 14 of the Laws of the Canal Zone is amended to read as follows:

Sec. 454. Permits to hunt with firearms upon the public lands of the Canal Zone or on the lands of private ownership, but without prejudice to the rights of the owners, may be issued by the Treasurer of the Canal Zone upon application made to him. But every person who shall hunt at night between the hours of sunset and sunrise with the aid or use of a lantern, torch, bonfire, or other artificial light, or who shall hunt by the use of a gun or other firearm intended to be discharged by an animal or bird, by means of a spring or trap or other similar mechanical device, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
