LEWISTOWN 



The Lewistown station is 

 operating at full capacity and 

 the Fish and Game Commission 

 during the biennium purchased 

 the Layman Spring water sup- 

 ply that may be used in later 

 years for additional develop- 

 ment in the Lewistown area. 

 This spring is adjacent to the 

 hatchery and investigations are 

 being carried out as to utiliza- 

 tion and development. 



All necessary maintenance work was carried on during the 

 biennium.
