DEPARTMENT OP LANDS AND FORESTS . 

 ACCOUNTS BRANCH 



For the year ending March 31st, I961, total cash 

 dlsbiirsements amounted to $23*277,0^,30, while cash 

 receipts totalled $21,656,397.06. 



Receipts showed a substantial Increase when 

 compared with the previous year, due mostly to the sale of 

 Crown timber which Increased by $1,602,000.00 reflecting 

 the woods Industries recovery from the recession of the 

 previous year. Sales of hunting and angling licenses 

 again showed a moderate Increase and our Provincial parks 

 receipts also reflected the Increased use of our recreational 

 facilities. 



While over-all departmental activities continued to 

 expand, we were able to maintain the level of our disbursements 

 with that of the previous year. This was due in large part to 

 a favourable fire season with the consequent savings in cost* 



In co-operation with the Federal government, a winter 

 works program for the development of camp-site and plcnio 

 areas was again carried out.
