While the total expenditures incurred in connection with the administration of 

 the Wolf Bounty Act amounted to $27,474.24, actual bounty payments accounted 

 for $27,204.00 of this total, details of which are contained in the following 

 statement: — 



In the northern districts the Province pays the entire bounty, but so far as 

 claims originating in the southern counties are concerned, bounty is paid by the 

 County Treasurers and forty per cent rebated to the counties by the Province. 



Trappers and farmers were responsible for taking more than eighty per cent 

 of the wolf pelts submitted for bounty, while it is reported that forty-five per cent 

 of the animals were snared, twenty-six per cent trapped, twenty-one per cent shot, 

 and the authorized use of poison was responsible for taking only three per cent. 

 The remaining five per cent were taken by miscellaneous means.
