Report of the Forest Commission. 9 



ber 30, 1894, the receipts from the various sources referred to 

 were: 



From trespasses on State lands $1 ,047 37 



From thejsale of dead and fallen timber 438 03 



From the sale of wild hay on State lands 25 00 



From leases of Adirondack camp sites 1 ,005 00 



The receipts from trespasses represent twenty- seven different 

 cases, the amount received from each being comparatively small, 

 as in each instance the work was discovered by the Foresters 

 and the logs seized before the operations of the trespassers had 

 been carried on to any great extent. 



Actions were commenced in twenty-two cases, for the prose- 

 cution of which a competent and reputable attorney was desig 

 nated by the Forest Commission in accordance with the law. 

 The law provides, however, that the appointment of an attorney 

 by the Forest Commission must be approved by the Attorney- 

 General and the Comptroller. The Attorney-General approved 

 the appointment of the attorney thus designated by the Com- 

 mission. The Comptroller, for reasons unknown to us, withheld 

 his approval, and these prosecutions have consequently been 

 delayed.
