TOURIST OUTFITTERS 



While travel restrictions and similar unfavorable conditions curtailed the 

 volume of tourist traffic and many camps could not operate at full capacity during 

 the season, most of the camp operators renewed their licenses in 1944. Five hundred 

 and sixty Tourist Outfitters' Camp Licenses were issued during the period covered 

 by this report, an increase of twenty-one, as compared with such licenses issued 

 during the previous year. 



There was considerable interest in post war expansion. Ninety-three 

 applications for permits to establish camps were considered, of which fifty-five 

 were granted. Twenty-one were refused and seventeen were in abeyance at March 

 31st., 1945. Ten new camps were completed and licensed during the year.

 cessible, — providing a natural environment and offering food and cover under the
