Conservation Board Rebutts Wild Life Fund Accusations
Fayetteville May 14. The state board of conservation and development rejected charges that wild life funds were diverted since 1939. It defended its use of funds for game and fish propagation and education, noted a quail decline due to natural causes, and cited licensing revenue and extensive public outreach as evidence of a nonpolitical, law-driven program. The response follows pressures from the North Carolina wild life federation amid efforts to separate divisions from the state department.
