Illinois anglers welcome spring fishing and warnings on funds
Il linois anglers await spring fishing as licenses go out and demand rises. War work limits trips but many spots near home offer relief. Officials warn of a looming $11.5 million shortfall in state highway funds by 1946 and expected declines in license and motor fuel tax receipts as driving drops due to tire rationing and other factors. Local governments fear reduced state aid gravel road funds and bond payments may be affected.
