legislature will have at its disposal
$4,000 or more in the fund created
by hunters licenses. The amount now
on hand is about $106, 165 90; paid to
deputy game wardens, s15,744.79;
balance $90,420.21. 1t is understood
that not to exceed $4,000 of this
fund can be used. Some time ago
strong effort was made on behalf
OF the hunters of the state to have
the fund used for propagation of game
and the restocking of streams. For
merly Iowa had one or two fish hatch
cries, but has none now. Little has
been done toward keeping up the fish
in the streams and nothing toward
adding to the number of game birds.
1t is regarded as possible the legisla-
ture will make an appropriation for
propagation of game.
