It will be noted that the total amount expended was $33,360.63 of which the 

 sum of $33,287.00 was the amount actually paid to bounty claimants, as shown 

 by the following statement: 



Payment of the full bounty of $15.00 is assumed by the Provincial Treasury 

 in respect of wolves destroyed in provisional judicial districts, while in the case 

 of these animals which are destroyed in the southern counties the bounty is 

 paid by the County Treasurer, forty percent of the amount being assumed by the 

 Province and subsequently rebated to the Counties. 



Trappers and farmers are responsible for eighty percent of the wolf pelts 

 forwarded for bounty, while an examination of the reports as to the methods which 

 were adopted for capturing the animals reveals that forty-five percent were snared, 

 twenty-five percent trapped, and nineteen percent shot, while the authorized use 

 of poison was responsible for the taking of only two percent.

 issue contained the following references viz: —
