iting Issuance of Hunting Licenses.
Leaders in the conservation of the
game of Wisconsin are showing an in
terest in the recent action of the
county board of this county in demand
ing that the issuance of hunting Il
censes be limited in Wisconsin. This
morning County Clerk Jones received
letter from A. G. Burrill, lecturer on
fish and game conservation at the
University Of Wisconsin, asking that
all data be sent to him in connection
with the resolutions passed by the Ke-
nosha county board. 1t is certain that
a demand viii be made upon the legis-
lature for the enactment of new laws
relating to hunting licenses and it is
thought probable that the demand for
new legislation will come from the
state fish and game department.
