vance money to any department until

it for any money from the treasury,
except upon warrants of the secretary

to go into the general fund The fines
collected amounted to $15,SS6, which
by legal provision goes into the school
fund.
The report estimated that the value
of the fish and fur bearing animals TAX
en- in the state during the year was S4.-
lO5.443.25 divided as follows: Fish,
s2.O52.2S2; furs, $1,625,010; game,
s428. 1926. Skunk pelts alone market
ed during the year reached the value
of s450,000. The warden discusses
the rough fish problem from the
viewpoint of one who holds that fish
and game are the property of the
state as a whole. and he would ex-
pertinent to discover if the state can
not profitably engage in the catch
ing of these fish instead of letting out
the work to others.
Up to this time professional Usher
men harvest the fish under an agree
ment that they get a percentage of the
profits. During 1912 the state received
s17,235.S3 net from sales of rough fish
with twelve carloads yet to be
marketed.
