The Beaver Beacon summarized a Natural Resources Commission order restricting April sucker spearing and bow-and-arrow fishing in specified Lower Peninsula zones for five years beginning September 20, 1972.
Evidence and limits
This record preserves the newspaper’s legal summary and its mainland highway boundaries. It does not silently extend the rule to Beaver Island, and the held issue does not supply the original order or an enforcement record.
