cent despatch from Harrisburg
says that a State fisherman's IL
cense of fifty cents, the proceeds
to be used for protection and pro
pagation Of fish and to prevent
pollution of streams, was recon-
mended by the conference ofrep-
resentatives of sportsmen's or
ganizations and the State Fish
Commission and will be present
ed to the Legislature. The con-
ference, which met Friday with
the State Game Commission and
drafted several changes in the
game laws, spent day talking
over legislation regulating fish
ing.
The proposed license is to be
paid by all male fisherman over
II years of age and the license is
to be worn upon the arm. Land
owners fishing on their own land
will not have to secure a license.
After an extended discussion
the conference struck from the
proposed fish code the prohibi-
ton of Sunday fishing, but au-
thorized the committee in charge
to insert it as a separate section
if it is found that the act cannot
be passed without it. A bill to
permit Sunday fishing will be
