Predator Control The Commission contributed over fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) towards the control of predatory animals and predatory birds during the biennium. For the year ending April 30, 1947, the commission spent approximately $14,000 to control pi'edators, approximately half of which was used to pay salaries and expenses of government trappers under a co-operative predator control program with the Fish and Wildlife Service and the State Livestock Commission. For the year ending April 30, 1948, the Commission's contribution toward predator control jumped to approximately $37,000.
