No Free Licenses to
Those Over Sixty-Five

The House of Delegates bill author
ling issuance of free hunting and
fishing licenses to sportsmcn over IS
years of age in Allegany, Garrett and
Washington counties, has been vetoed
by Governor O'Conor, it has been
revealed.
According to f. Lee LcComptc, head
of the Maryland Game and Inland
Fish Commission, the general admin
istration of Maryland considered the
bill bad legislation and the commits
sion shared this opinion, feeling it
would set a precedent, leading to free
marriage licenses, free auto licenses,
free other things.
Citing the case of elderly men on
the rolls of the county welfare, spon-
sors Of the bill said that such mon
would not be permitted to purchase
licenses because doing so would re-
suit in their being taken from the
welfare lists. They added that a per
son who had paid taxes and license
fees all his life was entitled to "some
consideration in his old age"
