Claiming the provincial Associa- tion had assumed a "dictatorial nt- tltudo" while it did not "represent the feeling of the sportsmen of Prince Edward Island" the meeting decided to form a new body for “the protection oi the Fish and Game oi Prince Edward Island." The Progressive club had called the gathering to discuss conserva- tion oi fish and game and the regu- lation of trout fishing. Early in the meeting strong op- position was voiced to the provincial Association's proposed blanket re- vision ‘of Prince Edward Island Fish and Game Act which, among other things called for annual imposition of a ZS-cent fishing license and a $1.00 hunting license on resident sportsmen, The provincial body hnd Proposed the widespread amend- ments to the Act lit c. meeting in Charlottetown March 13.
