Excerpt from Co-Operative Forest Fire Protection
Sm, - I beg to submit herewith a report of the investigations made by me regard ing the growth of forest fire protective associations among the lumbermen of America.
I have treated the St. Maurice Fire Protective Association in greater detail, because it is the only Canadian association of its kind yet in existence, because it most nearly typifies conditions in eastern Canada, and because it is considerably above the average of such associations in the efficiency and cheapness of its forest fire protective system.
