Ift DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND FLSHERIE.S No. 9 (1944) 



in accordance with the provisions of this Order-in-Council. Applicatioa'i for the payment of 

 bounty on an additional 22 bears were refused for various reasoas, the principal reason being 

 that the bears had been destroyed in Townships which were not in the proper classificatioji 

 regarding agricultural development, and this condition applied in respect to 14 bears. Rejection 

 of claimg was also made for the following reasoas: — 



2 killed before August 1st, 1942. 



4 killed by persons not residents of the Township in which the bears were killed. 



1 killed in a Crown Game Preserve. 



1 killed by a person other than the applicant. 



Grateful acknowledgement is made of the valuable co-operation of Agricuitural Repre- 

 sentatives and other officials of the Department of Agriculture who provided the neces.sary 

 information to enable our Department to determine which Towaships were within the classi- 

 tication stated in the Regulation, i.e., those in which not less than twenty-five per cent of the 

 total area was devoted to agriculture.
