Some aldermen protested that Hanson would learn something of value to the fire department at the convention.

The ruling whereby trappers must apply direct to the Department of Conservation came as the result of new legislation approved by the 67th session of the general assembly. Clerks will supply application forms for trappers who will use the applications in applying for licenses to: License Section, Department of Conservation, 3012 East Monroe street, Springfield, 111. The application must be accompanied by the correct lee for the license.

Mailing of the licenses will begin about Oct. 1. It will take about one week for delivery of licenses after application. A SPECIAL license for trapping beaver is now available. Regulations governing the method of obtaining this license are the same as for the fur trapping license.

A resident license to trap fur-bearing animals will cost $2.00, and the beaver license will be $5.00. Non-residennt licenses will not be available in the two classifications. A new resident license to hunt fur-bearing animals with gun and dog or gun or dog will be available through clerks for $2.00.
