of the large herd of mule deer, estim-

Under the protection of forest
rangers, however, the deer have in
creased in numbers to a point where
the entire herd is threatened with
starvation. and prompt efforts must
be made to reduce ii to number that
can be supported by the vegetation
on the kaibab Plateau.
To accomplish this the Forest
Service desires first to give away as
many deer as possible. The expense

due burden is liable to be placed upon
residents here, 1t was stated

of the association. explained that in
the event the local government de-
cided that an appropriation of $3o,-
100000 was necessary the District

appropriation of about 100000
allowed by the Federal Government
and the $30,00O,000 desired.
