Show Sale of Fish Ejs Denied Reports have arrived in the fish and game offices to the effect ef-fect that the fish and game commission com-mission has sold or disposed of fish and fish eggs from time to time to other states. "I wish to state to the uninformed unin-formed or misinformed that the Utah state department of fish and game has never disposed of or sold any fish or eggs to any other state or planted any fish in any waters outside the boundary boun-dary lines of Utah," said Ross Leonard, director of Utah fish and game commission. "The United States fish and wildlife service operates a hatchery at Springville and fish are planted from there in many western states. This may have been the basis for the rumor. "The Utah department purchases pur-chases millions of eggs annually from sources outside the state,, but these have been cash purchases pur-chases and no trades have been involved. , "The fisheries division of the state department has done an outstanding job in the production produc-tion of fish in spite of the limited limit-ed water supply available, and it would be appreciated if anyone any-one hearing these rumors would report them immediately to the state fish and game office." |
