time. after bowling to get the people
here to Maine and build good roads
for them, to now tax them so they
won't come. The increase viii hurt
the fishing industry. Mr.. Marble OF
Rangeley endorsed that idea. c. A.
Parrott OF Silver Beach Inn, Man
chester. said that to put the S. Ii
cense on, would kill his business and
that he would send his certificates
back to the department; he wouldn't
try to sell them.
Rep Eastman of F'ryeburg was also
opposed; saying the hundreds and
thousands Of people going to his Sec
ton would object strenuously. He
had letters of remonstrance from all
parts and thousands of signers could
have been secured. Louis Hyde of
the North Pond camps, guide in
Belgrade lakes, said the SIS fee would
drive away and said that for his own
part he was willing to pay IS ana
thought the other guides would be,
TO help out the department.
Rep Downs of Rome said his class
towns would suffer particularly from
the SIS fec and he thought the revenue
would not be increased. on account
of the people it would drive away. 1t
is dangerous thing to discourage
our summer people.
Commissioner Of Inland Fisheries
and Game w. E. Parsons made a
ringing appeal for something to be
done for raising the revenue that the
Legislature had cut off from the de-
partment. with all the demands from
everywhere for more wardens and
more fish for stocking our waters.
He said that the department had last
year managed q saving of $4,000,
available this year, and learning of it,
the Legislature had cut off $4,000 a
year from its funds.
He asked the guides present what
they wanted done; if every move that
had made more revenue hadn't been
fought tooth and nail, from the
guides law to the resident hunters
law; and how the department was
going to get the money to secure
more fish from the hatcheries to
stock their waters and to build
screens where needed to save the
fish. If the department had all it's
earnings to spend, it wouldn't have
to ask the Legislature for another
cent. New Hampshire easily gets
from s125.0O0 to $4,000 yearly, why
can't we?
He told the guides to put 1t up to
the summer visitors that the In
creased fee would all come back in
better fishing.
