Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the timber industry in Ontario from 1907 to 1920 and the resulting investigation into abuses of the Crown Timber Act. After receiving reports of abuses in the industry stemming from improper accounting, trespassing, damage to timber, and fraudulent practices, the authors were commissioned to investigate and report on the extent of the wrongdoing. The authors found widespread irregularities, including the underreporting of timber cut, the use of forged and false documents, and the deliberate instruction to undercount logs cut provided to employees. The reforms proposed in the book helped shape the present-day forestry and timber industries in Canada.
