The Conmiissioners took Hie ground in 1SS7 that the 

 hiw was not constitutional and have refused to pa^v 

 since, except such amounts as had been paid out by 

 justices to those claiming bounty, and simply refunded 

 to them. 



Our accounts are such that to fully answer your in- 

 quiries would necessitate assorting each vouclier filed, 

 which would require considerble time and some ex- 

 pense, but if required will make such a report. 



Respectfully yours, 



J. B. JACKSON, 

 Clerk.

Commissioners' Office, 

 Greensburg, Pa., May 31, 1897. 

 Dear Sir: Enclosed please find statement of the amount paid 

 out each year for the killing of Hawks, Owls, etc. I am una- 

 ble to give you the number of each kind killed as the way the 

 records have been kept here they do not give the number and 

 kind, but only give the total amount for each year. 



Very truly yours, 



HUGH HENDERSON.
