The new commissioner of Dominion Parks, Mr. P. C. B. Hervey, paid his first visit to the local buffalo park last week and left here well pleased with the care that is being execised at the reserve and satisfied that Supertintendent McTaggart has things in the shape they should be.
Commissioner Hervey visitedd here to make his first offcial inspection and at the same time made arrangements for disposing of the forty or more old buffalo bulls which will be done away with. The matter was left entirely in the hands of Superintendent McTaggart, who favors shooting the buffalo sometime next month.
Another matter was also considered while Commissioner Hervey was here and this was the application of the town council for a buffalo head for the new council chamber. There is every reason to believe this will be granted and that a monarch bull’s head will have a place in the new building through the kindness of the department and the new commissioner.
