92 FOREST COMMISSIONER'S REPORT. 



and campers. Lily Bay Mt. : A tower should be built about 30 

 feet high, either of wood or iron. It would be possible to get 

 lumber adjacent to the lookout for the purpose. 



Frank Hilton, Bingham — The State should have a line of its 

 own to connect The Forks central office with Lake Moxie. I 

 believe that it would be an excellent move if the Maine Central 

 R. R. Co. would furnish the Chief Warden with a motor car 

 as through the early part of the season the fire danger is great 

 and the train service poor up to the last of June. 

 The lumbermen who load lumber on a car should clean up 

 when they get through as they often leave a dangerous fire risk 

 by not doing so. For the benefit of the land-owners 



who allow campers to go on their lands, they should notify the 

 Chief Warden that he in turn might instruct the watchmen of 

 their whereabouts, so that a close watch could be maintained 

 over them. Lumbermen should do likewise as much expense is 

 incurred in investigating fires reported that prove to be of the 

 nature as described above. 



Fred Houghton, Topsfield — The roads need the bushes cut 

 and the brush and logs piled back. Many of the Plantation 

 roads in this section of Washington County are in this condi- 

 tion and are a bad fire menace. 



Silas F. Peaslee, Upton — Would advise having a more con- 

 venient telephone communication for the patrolman on Twp. 4, 

 Range 2, W. B. K. P., Oxford County. 



I would also, as heretofore, mention that I think it very im- 

 portant to have patrolmen continuously on places where there 

 is much inflamable material. 



Philander Butts, Kingfield — Would suggest a fire station on 

 Mt. Abram which would be a great improvement to this terri- 

 tory.
