Washington County Seeks Second Fulltime Game Warden
Allegany County already has two fulltime deputy wardens. The new Game and Fish Commission would take all license revenue, which in Washington County last year totaled 10 825 55 dollars. County sportsmen argue that license income justifies adding a second warden to enforce game and fish laws more effectively. Complaints of illegal fishing in the Potomac and its tributaries arise before bass season, and trout dipping and seining from stocked streams have been reported. A group plans to seek aid from the Western Maryland Wildlife Federation.
