Wardens Make Thorough Fishing License Check

Minnesota game wardens, in their regular line of duty, are making a thorough checkup of fishing licenses, according to Director Harry E. Speakes, of the division of game and fish.

As a result of this checkup, numerous fishermen have been hailed into court for failure to have a license. This proves an expensive procedure, and some of those brought to court pay enough in fines and costs to furnish them with the 50c annual license for the rest of their lives.

Minnesota law provides that everyone over 18 year old—men and women—must have a license to fish, and must have the license with them. The law further provides that everyone must purchase the license in the county of his residence.
