Mr.. Almond pointed out that
there was a balance of about
$35 million in the Virginia gen.
eral fund at the end of the
fiscal year June 30.

Mr.. Almond noted that for
about 20 years the sales tax
has been a subject of discussion

is a tax of last resort and ought
not to be imposed except in

A statewide hunting and fishing
survey sponsored by the Maryland
Game and Inland Fishing Commits
sion reveals that 100000 Maryland
people II years old and over fished
and hunted in the state during 1855,
spending a total of S28,354,00 for
their sport, according to Ernest A.
Vaughn, Director.
The Maryland survey conducted
in connection with a nationwide
survey for the U. S. Fish and Wild
life Service, was made to obtain in
formation on the number of indi-
vidualS engaged in recreational
hunting and fishing and the effects
these sports have on the states
economy
I'VE feel that there are more peo-
pie interested in hunting and fish
ing than in all other major sports
combined. Results of this study
should show everyone in the state
just how important our fish and
wildlife resources are in money
value in addition to the great rec
reational outlet they afford"
Vaughn said.
The Maryland survey showed that
so percent of the households in the
state have at least one fisherman
or hunter. In these households,
278,000 people fished, 124,000 hunted
in 1855 OF those fishing, 100000
fished in fresh water, 100000 in salt
water. OF those hunting, 100000
hunted small game, 10000 big game
and 1900 hunted waterfowl Some
of these did more than one type of
hunting and fishing, or both.
Average expenditure during 1855
per fisherman II years and over
was 5000. This was divided as fol-
lows: For equipment, S2O77; for
trips, $4629; for licenses, 83c for
all other expenses. S24l.
Fishermen spent a total of $l9,-
$4,000 for angling This was 81
10000 for fresh water fishing and
$12,393,OO0 for salt water fishing
Average expenditure per hunter
- years and over was $7l06 This
money was spent as follows For
equipment, $2867; for trips, $3.50;
for licenses, 1857; and for all other
expenses, Csc.
Hunters spent total of SS8l1000
for their sport. This was $2154000
for big game hunting, S5,3O0,000 for
small game hunting and S1,357000
for waterfowl hunting. The survey
showed that hunters spent S2,439-
600 for dogs and their upkeep
a detailed breakdown on hunting
and fishing expenditures showed
that outdoor sportsmcn spent s.,
5000 on rods, reels, guns, am
munition and related items in adj
dition to S3,473OOO for general
equipment such as tents, boats and
others Trip expenditures included
