NO DUPLICATES Fishermen are warned by the de- partment of revenue to carefully guard their fishing licenses, There is no provision in the law, the de- partment announces, whereby a duplicate fishing license can be is- sued. This means that a new license must be obtained if either part of one originally issued is lost.
