After paying $3,005.50 more money back to the counties than was paid out of 1916 collections, the cash on hand and back debts paid amounted to $9,765.26 and the larger warden force of 1917-18 received $2,534.16 more than all the warden force received in 1916, according to a comparative statement of total receipts and expenditures by the state game department given out by W. Hampton Gibbs, state game warden. The total collection for the year 1916 amounted to $30,593.36, of which $10,294.00 were returned to the counties, as compared with gross receipts of $34,599.92 for the fiscal year of office (11 months) running from July 28 to June 30, with a payment of $13,299.50 to the counties. The total expenditures for expenses for 1916 were $20,585.37, as compared with $24,320.89 for the fiscal year which has just closed. No fines have been refunded by the present administration.
The statement continues:
In 1916 $4,532 was drawn out of the state treasury to support the game department, and in 1917-18 all expenses were met out of the income of the department.
Comparative results are reported, as has been the custom of the department in order to show progress and improvement. This has been accomplished in spite of the fact that Oconee and Jasper counties and Bluffton and Yemassee townships in Beaufort county were license territory in 1916, and were exempted in 1917-18.
No report of the department seems to have been made for the period running from January 1, 1917 to July 28.
