Game And Fish Commission Votes
Migratory Bird Refuge Funds
The Texas Game and Fish
Commission voted to qualify for
approximately $300,000 in added
federal aid with the stipulation
that the funds be used to create
new migratory bird refuge areas.
It ordered formal project pa-
pers prepared so that the money
available under the Pittman-Rob-
ertson act may be formally allo-

cated to Texas within the July 1,
1955 deadline.
Texas’ new commitment of ap-
proximately $100,000 to match the
federal grant does not have to be
paid immediately and, it was
pointed out, • could be provided
from the next fiscal year’s budget
effective September 1.
The commission has acknowl-
edged a budget problem for the
current fiscal year because of ex-
traordinary and unexpected ex-
penditures, principally an added
$166,000 required to complete
Rollover pass across Bolivar pen-
insula connecting the Gulf of
Mexico with East Galveston bay.
The Pittman-Robertson act set
up several years ago to finance
wildlife restoration projects is fi-
nanced by an eleven per cent tax
on firearms and ammunition. The
money is allocated under super-
vision of the United States Fish
[ and Wildlife Service and is divid-

ed among the states on the basis
of physical area and the number
of hunting licenses sold.
States are required to match the
funds at the rate of twenty-five
cents for every seventy-five cents
granted.
Chairman Walter Leehner of
Fort Worth, named a committee
to immediately shape formal rec-
ommendations to Washington to
qualify for the approximately
$300,000 added available for the
refuge program. It comprises
Commissioners Henry Le Blanc of
Port Arthur; Herbert Frensley,
Houston; W. . T. Scarborough,
Kenedy, and Herman Heep, Buda.
The commission recently has
been emphasizing need of white-
winged dove refuges in the Rio
Grande valley and new waterfowl
refuges on the Gulf coast to which
millions of ducks ordinarily mi-
grate each fall.
The drought and increased util-
ization of marsh lands for farm-
ing has created an acute problem,
causing many ducks to leapfrog
once favorite ~ hunting places,
particularly in the East Gulf
areas.
Meanwhile, the commission is
going ahead with studios to de-
termine feasibility of combining
rice farming and catfish culture
to keep vast coastal areas inun-
dated for the combined benefit of
land owners and waterfowl, and,
of course, duck and goose hunters.
