Net Ordinary Revenue $1,193,033.72 



The total revenue derived from our operations, viz. $1,193,033.72 is the 

 largest collected in any fiscal year to date, and exceeded by approximately $10,000.00 

 the largest previous total, i.e. the sum of $1,183,269.29 received three years ago, in 

 1941-42. It was more by $217,961.12 than the revenue collected in the previous year, 

 1943-44. 



Increased collections were recorded in practically every instance and the 

 only noticeable decrease was in the revenue received from the sale of commercial 

 fishing licenses, which was approximately $4,000.00 less than the revenue derived 

 from the same source in the previous fiscal year. The most important and greatest 

 increase in revenue, as compared with that of the previous year, was in the fees 

 from the sale of non-resident angling and hunting licenses. The amount received 

 in 1943-44 from the sale of these licenses was $378,135.00, while the sum of 

 $527,663.30 was collected in 1944-45, or an increase of $149,528.30, or approximately 

 seventy per cent, of the total increase. 



The revenue as compared with that of the previous fiscal year also shows 

 the following collections and increases, viz. — 



The total of $262,163.39 received from the sale of trapping licenses and the 

 various kinds of resident hunting licenses represents an increase of $10,419.09. 



Fees from the sale of fur dealers' licenses and from fur royalties amounted 

 to $225,081.40, or an increase of $49,355.95. 



Fines and costs imposed on those convicted of violations of provisions of 

 the Game and Fisheries Act and the regulations amounting to $25,615.71, represents 

 an increase of $10,612.61.
