Governor Uses Ak Again - Gov
ernor Sproul has vetoed the House
bill providing that damage done to
farms, orchards and apiaries shall
be paid out of the hunters license |
fund, $4,000 of which is set aside
for the purpose. The Governor says:
This bill would introduce a new
policy into the State. The purpose,
OF course, is to encourage the open
ing OF lands for hunting, but If there
is to &c compensation for damage |
done by bears, there is no reason
why there should not be compensa-
ton under the same conditions for
damage done by deer which some
times injure gardens and damage
fruit trees or by rabbits which nib
BILE growing vegetables and girdle
trees. / do not think the State |
should adopt the principle of pay
ing for damages done by wild game |
nor do 1 feel that the funds raised
by the license upon hunters should
be dissipated in any such man
ner."
