Hunters. reported observing 1,846 during the brief 1961 sea- son. Beyond that, no one knows. Most of the big game animals were last reported still in south- eastern New Brunswick, mainly Albert county, with the centre moving north and west. A steady decline forced a closed season the year round starting in 1937. The number was considered big enough to justify limited killing in 1960. Newfoundland has been the only other Atlantic province to allow moose-hunting in recent years. In announcing a 1962 open sea- son, Lands Minister H. Graham Crocker indicated a possible increase in the number of lic- ences. He said probably more hunters will be out after moose than during the two previous seasons, Dates will be Nov. 5-10 in Albert county and parts of Saint John, King's and West- morland counties; Nov. 7-10 elsewhere.

Last July 5 approximately 12,- 80,000 Imperial gallons of water were pumped to set an all-time high for one day. The previous high was record- ed on a June day this year -- 12,040,000.
