NO BOUNTIES AFTER AUG. ls
County Will Stop Paying For
NOxiOus Birds and
Animals

Bounties on all noXious birds
and animals except woodchucks
and crows will cease after Aug. 8
according to County Auditor Rob-
ert S. Taylor. The new state law
providing for the bounty was
amended in the last session of the
legislature.
The county paid between $1,000
and $4,000 in bounty last year, ac-
cOrding to Mr.. Taylor. Some of
this was later refunded by the
state which assumes half the
bounty for certain animals. The
refund to date has been about
$1,000 and it is estimated that
the county has that much coming
from the state at present for re-
bates during the last period.
Not OF Much Use
Auditor Taylor says that the
bounty law has not been of much
use and that it was a wise thing
to change it. He says that it has
rot operated to increase the kill
ing of nOXious birds and animals,
Farmers will do that without the
bounty, according to the auditor,
and the result OF. the bounty law
has been to cause certain men to
profit at the expense of the state
by collecting dead animals on
which there was a bounty offered.
Hawk Bounty Wrong
The auditor says that the boun-
ty on hawks was an error as that
bird destroyed field mice and so
aided the farmer.
The only bounties offered by
the state after August 18 are on
woodchucks and crows, the am
cunt being 25c for each.-Port
Huron Times-Herald.
