10 FISH AND GAME COMMISSION 



The board continues to be faced with the problem of providing 

 fishing- for an ever increasing army of fishermen in the face of many 

 obstacles. We have taken great pains to study the fish hatchery setup 

 thoroughly and have authorized imi)rovements that will, we feel sure, 

 produce results. 



We indorsed a proposed fish screen bill for introduction at the 

 1941 session of the Legislature which has generally received the unani- 

 mous support of sportsmen's organizations, the American Legion, the 

 Califorina State Grange and others. It is hoped that if this measure 

 is enacted into law that a more cooperative and friendly feeling will 

 be engendered between agricultural interests, the sportsmen and the 

 commission. 



As a result of failure to secure appropriate action from the fruit 

 and vegetable canners through cooperative measures, your commission 

 instructed that all pollution violations be prosecuted or compliance 

 secured through otlier means. This action resulted in the whole- 

 hearted support of the sportsmen. 



For details of these and other activities, we respectfully refer you 

 to the ensuing reports submitted to us by the executive officer and the 

 chiefs of the several bureaus of the Division of Fish and Game. 



The Fish and Game Commission wishes to express its appreciation 

 for the aid that it has received from you and from the members of your 

 staff. We could not have accomplished so much had it not been for 

 your never flagging interest in the cause which we serve. 



Respectfully submitted.
