ANNUAL REPORT. 1945-46 



The following are additional comments and comparisons with reference to other 

 sources of revenue to which important portions of this increase can be assigned, viz : — 



From the sale of various types of resident hunting licences we received during 

 1945-46 a total of $293,451.41, an increase of $84,420.92 as compared with the revenue 

 derived from this source in 1944-45. 



In 1945-46 we collected a total of $314,682.10 from the sale of trappers' licences and 

 fur dealers' licences and including royalties payable on the pelts of fur-bearing animals 

 taken in the Province, an increase over the revenue collected from similar sources in 

 1944-45 of $36,467.80. 



The operations of the Enforcement Service were responsible for the collection in 

 1945-46 of the sum of $84,395.28 from penalties imposed and the sale of confiscated 

 articles which resulted from the apprehension, prosecution and conviction of offenders, 

 which amount was $32,407.30 in excess of the revenue derived from these sources in the 

 preceding year.

 ing and angling licences which were sold in the two years 1944-45 and 1945-46 may be of

 135,068 were secured by non-resident hunters and anglers who visited Ontario to par- 

 ticipate in the pastime and recreation thus available.

 grand total of $748,661.36, which exceeded by $109,896.09 the amount expended in the 

 previous year. The major proportion of this additional expenditure, $83,736.45, was 

 accounted for by increased appropriations provided for the Biological and Fish Culture
