Bmplov^ment of Foresters. 



During the past year the expert foresters who were in the employ of the Com- 

 mission have rendered efficient and valuable services. Some of them, induced by 

 offers of a higher salary than this department could pay, owing to the limitations of 

 the annual appropriation, have accepted positions elsewhere. One of them, Mr. H. 

 S. Meekham, a forester and land surveyor, received an appointment under the 

 United States Forestry Bureau. Mr. Grant B. Bruce and Mr. Ralph S. Bryant 

 accepted positions from the United States Forestry Bureau in the Philippine Islands, 

 and are now engaged there in forestry work. We shall lose also the valuable ser- 

 vices of Mr. McClintock, the Assistant Superintendent, as he has recently been 

 appointed commissioner of public works in the city of Rochester. 



Yours very respectfully, 



WILLIAM F. FOX, 



Superintendent of State Forests,
