8 GEORGE V, A. 1918 



It also has been suggested that the sea-lions be exterminated or so thoroughly 

 attacked to death by man as to frighten them away from their depredatory raids, and 

 that this be encouraged by giving a bounty of two dollars ($2) a sea-lion, such bounty 

 to be paid on presentation of the muzzle of the animal as voucher for its extinction. 



We will be glad if you will answer the questions set out in the enclosed form to 

 the best of your knowledge and belief, and add any observations you may think fit. 

 It has been suggested that the canneries, where any depredations from sea-lions occur, 

 might be left to handle the problem themselves without any idea of government bounty, 

 on the assumption that fishermen attached to the canneries would protect their own 

 interests. 



Your speedy attention to the requests made on you in this letter and enclosed form 

 will be appreciated and will assist the sea-lion commissioners in the preparation of 

 their report on the whole question.
