Conservation Commission. 



31 



thirtieth day of November, inclusive. This order was made effec- 

 tive on the 15th day of June, 1912, and ceased to be operative on 

 the 31st day of December. But the Lake George petition, in so 

 far as it asked additional protection for the species of fish com- 

 monly called lake trout and pickerel, was denied, for the reason 

 that the desired relief could not be granted so as to become effec- 

 tive during the year 1912. 



Other petitions for additional protection to fish and game, acted 

 upon by the Conservation Commission under the provisions of sec- 

 tion 152 of the Conservation Law, are as follows:

Prosecutions for Violations. 



Statistics on file with this department show that the game pro- 

 tectors have prosecuted during the present tiscal year 1,695 cases, 

 as against 1,485 in 1911, or 210 more cases than during the pre- 

 ceding year. Of this total, 1,607 were successful. The time will 

 undoubtedly come when popular sentiment is so well educated 

 that the average citizen will be himself at all times a game pro- 

 tector. But until that time comes, the test of efficiency must 

 largely rest upon the number of cases of violation of the law suc- 

 cessfully prosecuted; and upon this test the work of the t>ast 

 fiscal year is satisfactory.
