Don't Violate License Laws
Publication of tho raise of hunting license fees In New York State has caused considerable discussion and li'e sur prising to hear so many different reports about them.
' We informed our readers that the big game bunting license would cost the New Jersey resident and other non residents who wished to hunt New York, $62.90 for big
Same and $32.50 for small game. If one wished to hunt Bth, they had to purchase the small and big game li
censes at a total cost of $85. Also, it wasn't necessary for tha big game hunter to have to purchase the small game license if he did not want to hunt small game. There ere two separate licenses. i There is no need to repeat what eome folks read in 1 ether newe mediums or wero told. IMi Is it.
: Governor Hugh Carey signed the license bill on August Mh ind licenses should be available before the end of this
month.

The New York Conservation Department realises that
with the increase, efforts will be made by noo-residenU to
violate the laws as far as licenses are concerned. Con
tracts with New York residents who live across or near
our state line for resident licenses will be made. How
foolish. Conservation officers are well ahead in the mat*
ter of such dealings. They will be alerted.
Pennsylvania aid not raise their licenses this year.
The non-resident hunting license will cost $40.35 for per
sons 12 years of age and over. There's special Non-Resi
dent Regulated Shooting Ground! license for $3.15.
Now York residents as well as all other non-residents
will have to pay our state the same fee we ere charged
for a license In their state.

Carl Svec of Passaic has been fishing the Paeealc
River below the Garfield Dam for the past 14 years end he was pleasantly surprised to catch two striped bass there. The bass were caught last week--measured 10 end 13 Inches long. These fish migrated all the way trom the waters of tha ocean into Newark Bay end upwards. It's nice to hear about this and we wonder how much change
there ie in the pollution barrier. This writer can remember striped bass catches made
below the dam in Garfield in the early 1830s.
Tuna are being caught off the Jersey coast but meoy

A 683 pound tuna wee caught Saturday at the Buffer
Buoy by Leo Decay of Brielle and It took Leo just five
minutes longer than an hour to boat It. That's really the
work of a pro--end no doubt Leo is just that. He chummed
for the tuna with slick and then chunks.

many years, it was our lot to check and watch soglers who were hooked or reported a fish. Tha fight would go on for hours and many were smaller then Decay's fish. A nice catch Indeed.
