New Yorkers Get Catch Iowa Law Confusion
Justice of Peace Thomas Johnston of Clarinda notes a peculiarity in Iowa law allowing rough fish taken from streams to be shipped out of state while denying local use. He cites Storm Lake's case where 6 tons of rough fish were sold to a New York bound firm of Jews, despite Iowa citizens being denied. This appears to be a special instance rather than a general rule.
