Chelan County Sportsmen Oppose New Game Bill
Chelan County sportsmen oppose Collins fish and game bill No 8 as passed by the senate. They cite a three member state commission with west and east side residents and a governor appointed east side warden, plus county to state license revenue provisions, as creating a political machine and shifting control from counties. They back house bill No 404 which would empower county commissioners as a game board and authorize a county game warden, noting it improves enforcement and keeps local control. Attorney A G Gray travels to Spokane to represent eastern Washington this week.
