DEER MEAT PERMITS 



All persons retaining deer meat in their possession after the regular 

 15-day period following the close of deer season are required to have the 

 meat stamped. The fee for stamping and retaining the deer meat is $1. 

 Deer meat permits, stamps, etc., are furnished to all locker plants and 

 other places where deer meat may be kept. These places of business stamp 

 the meat and are permitted to retain 50 cents for their services, and 

 account to the Division of Fish and Game for the other 50 cents. The 

 revenue for the years of 1946 and 1947 was as follows : 



1946 $11,881 



1947 11,965 



The Fish Packer's and Shellfish Dealer's License Act was 

 amended in 1947. As amended the new act provides that all dealers 

 in fresh fish are required to be licensed. This new law went into effect 

 on September 19, 1947. 



License agents are now permitted by law to retain their 5 percent 

 compensation at the time of remitting for license sales. This change 

 provides tlie immediate payment of his commission to the agent, and 

 eliminates considerable work in the departmental accounting office, 

 State Controller's Office, and State Treasurer's Office.
