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.
