Wisconsin Assembly Debates Bills To Repeal Conservation Laws
The assembly committee heard only author support for two Rowe bills in Madison. One would erase the existing game census hunters file with the department, and another would bar the conservation commission from taking fish eggs or fish from distant waters. Rowe argued census reports misrepresent actual game killed and lack enforcement. Walter E. Scott of the game management division defended the reports.
