LeCompte Plans
Big Trout Hatchery

State Game Warden E. Lee Lee
Compile, Baltimore, announced today
that plans were being formulated by
the state game and inland fish COM
mission for postwar construction of a
large trout hatchery in Western
Maryland.
LeCompte declared he had asked
three state officials to draw up plans
and choose a site for the proposed
hatchery which would supplement the
states present hatchery facilities.
The project, which he estimated
would cost between $4,000 and $25,-
900, would have to be located near a
mountain stream in Western Mary
land, he said, in order to obtain neces-
sary water supplies.
Senator Bernard l. Gender, said
yesterday he did not know whether
Mr.. LeCompte meant Garrett county
or not, but that he would learn more
of the proposed project while in
Baltimore the middle of February fol-
a meeting Of the Board of State For
ests and Parks, of which he is a
member.
He believed Bear Greek or Savage
river would be good locations for the
hatchery, but was of the opinion that
if there wasn't any let-up in the
Underwriting in the Bear Creek area
before long, that the stream, as well
as others in the county would dry up
