Mr. Parsons reports that the total
receipts from the hunting licenses for
the year were s91 97l-far more. he
declares, than the most optimistic ad-
vocates OF the law anticipated.
Another feature OF especial inter
est which he mentions in his report
Is that while the law creating the de-
partment provided no funds on
which it could set up business, max
ing IL necessary for the governor and
the commissioner to make sundry adj
yances in order to get it established,
il had on hand on the LIST day Of

very considerably in restocking the
