The County Clerk of Sussex, Mr. Harvey S. Hopkins, has appropriately called the attention of municipal clerks in that county to their neglect of duty under the hunting and fishing license law. Doubtless the same neglect has resulted in other counties. In sending out the supply of 1922 licenses Mr. Hopkins wrote:
"In every monthly report compiled by this office I can see instances where resident hunting licenses have been improperly issued to foreigners who have not yet acquired their final naturalization papers. This is both unjust and unlawful and sooner or later some issuing clerk will encounter serious trouble through his laxity in this matter. Unless you have personal knowledge respecting the applicant, there is but one safe procedure: Compel him to produce his certificate of final naturalization. His first papers, or declaration of intention are not sufficient."
Mr. Hopkins also called the attention of the municipal clerks to the change in the fish and game laws which no longer exempt women from the necessity for procuring a license. Formerly women were not required to have licenses to fish, although they had to get them to hunt. Now they have to have licenses for both, as per Chapter 112, Laws of 1921.
