44 forest commissioner's report. 



all fires have been found by the section men and patrolmen in 

 time to prevent spreading. 



Claude L. Sawyer, Guerette — Fire notices were put up in dif- 

 ferent places along the various beats and all campers warned to 

 be sure and extinguish their camp fires. All telephone lines 

 were improved and put in the best of condition also the trails. 

 There are tools enough here for another season at the different 

 stations. 



William E. Brown, Plaisted — New tools bought and properly 

 housed. We have cleared telephone lines and connected same 

 at my home, also cleared trail from camp to lookout station on 

 Mt. Hedgehog. A trail cut from Rocky Brook to South Branch 

 Birch River, also from Wallagrass Lakes to North Branch 

 Birch IRiver on to Nigger Brook lake, 15, R. 9. In wet weather 

 rocks were taken out of the channel of Red River to make the 

 same passable with a canoe up to the Falls. The west half of 15 

 R. 7 and the east half of 15, R. 8, has been cut hard for pulp 

 leaving the forest there a regular brush pile. Lookout station 

 and camp on Mt. Hedghog in good condition. 



Silas F. Peaslee, Upton — General improvements to stations, 

 trails, camps, etc. In certain places where there is much liability 

 of bad fires, patrolmen should be kept on during the season. 



L. P. Barney, Tarratine — Telephone lines repaired to Kibbie 

 and Williams Mts. A new camp will have to be built on Kibbie 

 Mt. in 1916. The towers should be painted another spring. The 

 fire line into Jackman should be changed as it is too heavily 

 loaded at the present time. 



Leroy Brown, Lee — I would approve all lookout stations 

 instead of patrols. Think stream patrol during certain fishing 

 seasons would be well. 



Fred Houghton, Topsfield — Territory posted with fire notices. 

 All lookout men well supplied with equipment and lines put in 

 good condition. 



D. H'. Lambert, Seboomook — Lookout stations should be re- 

 paired next spring and one of them raised about ten feet. I 

 would also suggest that better and stronger glasses be used as 

 the ones now in use are not to my mind, what is needed. A 

 good spy glass would be better. A few more tool boxes should 

 be made and placed in different parts of this territory. There 

 has not been a fire in my territory this summer that has cost 

 anything extra or done any damage.
