Mclntire was presented and read as
follows;
10 the honorable board of supervisors
of Gratiot county. Gentlemen: During
the past year | have endeavored TO look
after and see that the game and fish laws
were not violated. In the past year there
has been two complaints made, but after
careful investigation l found that in both
cases that | did not, neither could | get
sufficient evidence TO convict the parties,
and thought best not to make any ex-
pense for the county unless l was sure OF
conviction. While there may have been
some violations in this county during the
past year, 1 candidly believe the people
OF Gratiot county have observed the
state. / would further report that have
exhausted all my skill in continuing
some plan by which we could get free
passage for fish through the dam across
Pine river located In Midland county.
All of which | would respectfully sub
init. A. ;. MCINTYRE,
Deputy Game Warden for Gratiot Go.
