Part Time Licenses Made
Now for Anglers

Several States have adopted a
reduced rate, part time, nonresi.
dent fishing license system this
year designed to attract tourists
and others who may have but a
short time to visit in any one
State, according to Talbot Den.
mead of the Commerce Depart
ment's Bureau of Fisheries.
Denmead pointed out that this
system permits a person to pur-
chase a fishing license at a cost
in proportion to the value given
generally around the price of a
resident license.
To Increase Revenue
1t is expected that this system
will increase the revenue for
these States issuing reduced non-
resident licenses.
A complete list of States where
part time nonresident anglers
licenses are available, their dura;
tion and cost, are listed below;
States added during the year
1888 are indicated by an asterisk.
