| the department upon the order of the Governor.
| Its attorneys and sherffs are required to render
| game wardens all such assistance as they are
required to render in their said coast and the
| general increase of executive authority adds to
the efficiency of the act. The game warden's
salary is made 81, 200, but no compensation ex-
cept the fines is made for the deputies to

secured to this end at the next session of the
Legislature.
