Without Cost To
The | axpayer

Richmond, Sept. 2-In the past
five years the Commission Of
Game and Inland Fisheries not
only has been self-supporting but
has actually contributed S193,
013,49 to the taxpayers, which
sum hiss gone into the Literary
Fund.
Throughout these years not one
cent has come from the taxpay-
ers' pockets but the Commission
has sustained itself through the
sale of hunting, fishing and trap
ping licenses and permits and Is
per cent of the dog license sales.
In other words, it has been the
sportsmen's own organization, sup
ported solely by them.
Again speaking in terms Of
money, the Commission has been
responsible for the dog license
sales which revert to the general
fund Of the localities where col
lected, after the payment of stock
claims, and during the past five
years this has amounted to ST.
635, 222.98, statewide.
It is very erroneous idea to
to think that the Game Commits
sion has been anything Of bur-
den to the taxpayers. On the con
trary, in addition to the valuable
recreational facilities which it has
maintained, it has been very
potent aid to the State treasury.
Many thousands of pounds of
lespedeza seed have been furn-
ished during the period free to
the farmers for planting as quail
food and in this manner lespede-
"a has been well established in
all suitable sections of Virginia.
