ed in that inland body of water.

Der Of Commerce, from :. Ii. Shcb-
ley, in charge of the State Bureau

Myron d. Witter, assemblyman
from this district, has long been in
rerested in the development of the
S<ou Sea as 4 resort and recrea-
tional area, and has done much to-
ward getting the state interested in
this body Of water. He announced
some time ago that it was believed
That striped bass would thrive in
Salton Sea
It is the belief of those interested
locally in the introduction of striped
bass in tine Salton Sea, that the
constant flow Of water from the
New and Alamo rivers would un
doubtcdiy assure Il supply of fresh
water, which SAebley considers es-
seGtia! for the eXistance of striped
bass and it is hoped that Coleman 5
survey may prove that the Salton
Sea can be utilized for fishing and
