10 THE EEPORT UPON No. 14 



Acknowledgments. 



I cannot close my report without publicly expressing my appreciation of the 

 co-operation received from many outside sources and I have reference particularly 

 to the Deputy Minister of Naval Service, Ottawa, and his officials, the Trans- 

 portation Companies, as well as to other Departments of the Provincial Govern- 

 ment. During the year death claimed one of the Department's most valued and 

 efficient members of the staif in the person of Mr. Jas. Pegg, who had been in 

 the employ of this Gfovernment for approximately twenty-four years, and in this 

 particular Department since its inception. His work was always conscientiously 

 performed and the Department has suffered a decided loss by his removal. In 

 reporting any success that has been attained by the Department during the past 

 year I must also bear tribute to the co-operation and willingness with which 

 every member of the staff attributed his or her efforts to bring about the best 

 possible results. 



All statistics mentioned as well as many others will be found in detail in 

 statements published herein. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



I am. 



Your obedient servant, 



D. McDonald, 



Deputy Minister of Game and Fisheries. 

 Toronto, January 31st, 1920.
