The State Game Warden is charged with the duty of protecting the
game of the State, which, under the present system, simply means to en-
force the laws relating to game, for the system in vogue does not provide
adequate means to protect the wild life of the State.

It is also the duty of the State Game Warden to enforce the laws
relating to fish, but he has nothing to do with the propagation of the
same, that comes under the two Fish Commissioners.

All communications relating to game laws and the enforcement of the
same, and game protection, as well as those relating to fish laws and fish
protection, should be addressed to the State Game Warden.
