In the meantime the department has been deluged with inquiries as to fishing license details.

The department is issuing the following information relative to the necessities of license protection for those intending to either hunt or fish in this State: Combined licenses for hunting and fishing. Nonresident flO 00 State 2.50 County 1 00 The county license permits the holder to hunt and fish in his own and adjoining counties. The State license allows hunting and fishing anywhere in the State; and persons holding a county license may exchange same for a State license and have credit for the $1 paid for the county license. The hunting licenses now In the hands of the County Clerks for the year 1919 are made by the Act the combined hunting and fishing license for the year and the Clerks will so consider them; new forms will be issued for year 1929. Fishing License Only.

Resident State license $1 00 Xonresident license 3 00 These licenses are required where the party does not care to hunt but only to fish: both are good for the entire State and expire Dec. 31. 1919. Xo license to fish is required in applicant's own county and women and children are exempted as to fishing license. Allen Licenses.

The Art provides that any alien must take out a nonresident license before he can hunt or fish in this State; no special license will be issued this year for this, but the County Clerks will upon the application of any alien issue to him the regular non-resident hunting or fishing license, as he desires. Until the present year it cost $5 for a State or Jt for a county hunting license alone, there having previously been no fishing tax. bine Sportsmen may now com-bottl sports for half the money.
