TWENTY-SEVENTH BIENNIAL REPORT. 



27 



10. Necessary expenses of forest officers iu tlie investigation anfl prosecntion of 

 fish and game violations will be paid by the Fish and Game Commission npou 

 properly certified accounts on forms furnished by the Commission. 



11. Amendments to this agreement may be proposed by eith^ir party upon giving 

 thirty days' notice to the other. Amendments shall become operative immediately 

 after they have been adopted by both parties. 



12. It is mutually understood and agreed that this agreement shall terminate at 

 the end of any fiscal year in the event that Congress shall fail to uuike an ai)i)ro- 

 priation for the ensuing fiscal year. 



According to the terms of the agi'eement forest officers will enforce 

 fish and game laws, make arrests, snbmit reports and issue hunting and 

 fishing licenses. The force of game wardens will therefore be greatly 

 augmented and better enforcement of the fish and game laws is a cer- 

 tainty. The help of the Forest Service in better posting state game 

 refuges will be another outcome of the cooperation. In return for the 

 services of the forestry men, the game Avardens of the state will be 

 deputized as forest fire wardens and will help in protecting the forests 

 and in developing the right public attitude toward the laws and regu- 

 lations of the national forests. There is to be a continuance of the 

 annual reports on game conditions in the forests furnished by the 

 District Forester. 



This cooperation, which has been carefully worked out between the 

 United States Forest Service and the Fish and Game Commission, will 

 make violation of the fish and game laws doubly difficult and will do 

 much to develop a sentiment favoring game conservation.
