152 BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 



As is shown, the total amount of money •appropriated by the United 

 States Government thus far for the service of the United States Com- 

 mission is $1,190,955.45, and the total amount appropriated for the 

 service of the various State Commissions is $1,110,096, making a total, 

 to the close of the year 1882, of $2,292,051.45. If this sum should seem 

 large to any one when examining- the actual fruits of fish-culture, it is 

 to be remembered that a large per cent, of it represents permanent 

 investments in the way of hatching-houses, apparatus, ponds, &c, and, 

 in the case of the United. States Commission, of three steamers — the 

 " Lookout," " Fish Hawk," and " Albatross" — all of which investments, 

 being of a permanent nature, will not need to be renewed, to any con- 

 siderable extent, during the next decade. However the money may 

 have been expended, one thing will be made very apparent by an exam- 

 ination of Table IV, viz, that an exceedingly small proportion of it has 

 been paid out in salaries, the United States Commissioner and nearly 

 all of the State Commissioners having served from the beginning with- 

 out remuneration.
