traveling expenses than was anticipated, also that the demands for 
special assistance have required quite a large amount for this pur¬ 
pose, but the results secured from these expenditures fully justify 
them. While it was anticipated that completing the titles and 
deeds in connection with the purchase of lands, surveys, etc., would 
cost considerable money because of the nature of the titles and the 
fact that old land marks had been obliterated years ago, the .funds 
necessary to complete this work were considerably in excess of ori¬ 
ginal estimates. The erection of substantial, permanent buildings 
as places of residence on our new refuges has also required more 
money than set aside for this purpose, because Members of the Board 
having supervision over the erection of such buildings deemed it 
advisable to build more substantially than first anticipated. An¬ 
other item that ran higher than orginally calculated upon was ex- 
pressage on game due to high express rates prevailing during the 
year, also as directed by you more game was purchased than had 
first been decided upon because it was, thought advisable to secure 
it while available. 
On the following pages you will find detailed statements relative 
to bounties paid, status of funds, etc. Prior to the date of your an¬ 
nual meeting data will be prepared relative to game killed, hunting ac¬ 
cidents and number of licenses issued, to be attached to this report 
in the form of an addendum.
