could easily be made to yield abundant supplies of trout, which would annually 
give the people an excellent food, far surpassing in value the outlay required for 
restocking these streams. This work could be undertaken forthwith, and with- 
out any settlement of the question pending between the Federal and Provincial 
Governments as to their respective jurisdiction over interior waters. Some of 
the questions touching fish distributed by the Commission have been arranged 
with intent to educate public opinion on this important matter. 
In order to illustrate the nature of the different sorts of services established 
for the administration or enforcement of laws for the protection of game and fish 
the following sketches of several organizations are given. 
ONTARIO, 
It cannot be said that the Province has any organized service for Game and 
Fish protection, its condition in this respect being far behind that of several 
Canadian Provinces and all the immediately adjacent States of the Union. The 
provision that game inspectors may be appointed by municipalities is inoperative, 
and the laws touching Game and Fish are everywhere left to be disregarded, 
unless utilized by informers for their own rather than the public good. 
This manner of leaving the laws to the operation of nobody in particular is less 
advanced than that which obtains in some of the least civilized States and 
Territories.
