NO FISH LICENSE FOR YOUNGSTERS Commissioner Points Out Need For Revenue to Develop State Hatcheries Fishermen of Pennsylvania lmve taken up the proposition for a hunters' license to supply the State Department, of Fisheries with a definite fund from which to draw the money for propa gation, protection and ot her work, along the same lines as the hunters' license fund, and there is discussion under way from the Delaware to the Ohio. The idea has been supported in many quarters and "knocked" in others. The State Department of Fish eries Is going right through with the proposed legislation and believes that the success of the hunters' license will insure that of the fishermen. The Department of Fisheries in a statement on the matter issued to-day says: "This question is one that should be looked upon by all in a broad-minded way. There are three classes of fisher men in the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania—the fishermen who fish in our Great flakes and our tidal waters for commercial purposes, an industry which is of much importance to ail the people of Pennsylvania on account of the enormous food supply which is produced and which can only lie kepi up and conserved by artificial propa gation; the sportsman who fishes for the sport and recreation whicl- he re ceives and which cannot be e< imated in dollars and cents. The department believes that every sportsman will agree with it that the time spent upon a stream is an absolute rest and he goes back to his place of business a better citizen and better able to cope with the duties which confront him. Another class is the class who fish for the purpose of securing a string of fish tor food. The last two clusses are about equally divided. "The fishermen's license bill is be-- lug drawn up so that it will not be come a hardship upon any particular person. The boy and girl under a cer tain age will be Tree to fish without a license. "The fishermen may as well under stand that in order to mrai the many quest ions confronting the Department of Fisheries in tire proper manner, more funds must be available for the use of the department. The money derived from the fishermen's license will be used by the Department of Fisheries for the extensive propagation of fish for planting the streams of I lie Commonwealth for the benefit of all the people .and It Is a well-known fact that it is useless to plant in our Inland waters small fish, as the de partment cannot longer depend upon the natural production in the various streams, but must plant fish of almost catchable size. This means that the fish must be held at the hatcheries until they reach a length of from four to six Inches. "The department Is flooded with ap plications front all sources for every species far beyond anything 11 ever ex pected or anticipated. To fulfill these demands the hatcheries will have to be fully developed and enlarged. The demands made upon the department for fish can be met If funds are avail able for the carrying out of the plans as formulated."
