We are now in prime time hunting season, so I thought this would be a appropriate topic. Many may not realize there was a time when Fish & Game Wardens were a appointed county employee. In 1895, California Assembly Bill. No. 148 was passed that the Board of Supervisors of each county may appoint a Fish & Game Warden, to serve a two-year term. Depending on the county’s classification determined the salary. For most of the state the salary was fifty dollars a month. One of the requirements is that the game warden provide quarterly reports to the Board of Supervisors giving a detailed statement of all arrests made, convictions had, fines collected and any other matters. Frank P. Cady served as the Lassen County Fish & Game Warden for many years. However, I have never come across the quarterly reports. Yet, on the other hand I have located County Horticultural Reports, Medical Officers Report. After World War I Assembly Bill 148 was repealed, wherein the local game warden was done through the State.
