Acknowledgments 



Before closing my report I must publicly express my appreciation for the 

 assistance and support rendered to the Department during the year, not only 

 for the loyalty of the staff of both the inside and outside service, but for the 

 assistance of the transportation companies who helped our officers in their 

 duties pertaining to the enforcement of the Act and with the distribution of 

 fry, whether by baggage car or by the official car "Beaver." 



All statistics referred to will be found elsewhere in this report, together with 

 many other statistics in detail. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



I am. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



D. McDonald, 



Deputy Minister of Game and Fisheries.
