No Improvements at San Marcos Hatchery
Washington July 7. Government plans show no major upgrades for the San Marcos fish cultural station in the 1916 fiscal year. Despite needs, the site will operate with current equipment as House and Senate efforts to fund an extra 15000 for San Marcos failed in conference. Also cut were funds for Orangeburg Saratoga and related hatcheries.
