terested persons, had an opportunity to be
preserC and fully heard. the state Game
Warden decided to discontinue me pan
of issuing these special permits or licenses
and proposed instead that wherever there
was need of removing rough fish from the
waters of the state the work should be
done. under his supervision and an interest
in the profits derived from the venture
should be reserved to the state. Before
putting this plan into general operation ne
tried it tentatively in two places. The eX-
periments were made during some of the
coolest weather of the past winter and
under many disadvantages imposed by the
ne .esSity of fishing under the ice Never
tbeless about months trial of this plan
in two fishing streams resulted in larger
net income to the state than the aggregate
OF all the proceeds of licenses issued dur
ing the preceding year. These results i'll
the Judgment of the head of this depart
ment justify extension of the plan.
Some question has been raised however as
to the legal authority of the Game Warden
to take rough fish in this way In order
that this doubt may be removed recon-
mend the enactment of legislation that viii
unquestionably give effect to, section 456Of-
10 which plainly intends that he should
have this power.
The Inconsistencies in sections 45G0a 3S
and 4560d should also be removed. They
are the result of inadyertente i'll amending
pre- existing statutes. SO also should sec
ton 4565c-5 be amended so as to har-
monte with other provisions of law upon
the same subject.

mental purposes. and many days of the
time of the chief and his staff have been
occupied in attendance at repeated confer
cnces with the Attorney General. other
counsel for the state myself ana the mem
bers of your committees. All this has en-
tailed an unexpected drain upon the APP
preparations set apart at the regular SEES
ment: and | most respectfully recommend
q further allowance TO meet the altered re-
quirements of this branch of the state SER
