42 FOREST COMMISSIONERS REPORT. 



1915 IMPROVEMENTS. 



As Reported by Chief Wardens, and Recommendations 



for 1916. 



Louis Oakes, Greenville Junction — The lookoutmen made 

 much needed improvements on their trails, telephones and camps 

 during the rainy weather while they were on duty. The tele- 

 phone lines connecting the lookout stations with the Central 

 were kept in a very efficient manner which made it possible to 

 discontinue any extended service by the commissioned patrol, 

 thus saving a considerable sum of money which otherwise 

 would have been spent in the maintenance of more patrolmen. 



J. E. Junkins, Ashland — Telephone line from the Oxbow to 

 Norway mountain repaired, about thirty-five miles, also a line 

 run from the tower to the camp on this mountain. Trail cut 

 out to Seboeis Lake. New lookout station built on Round 

 Mountain, top of mountain cleared of trees and telephone line 

 and trail put in first class condition. New camp built for the 

 lookout man on Haystack mountain. On No. 9 or Bald Moun- 

 tain new wooden lookout erected and new camp built also trees 

 cleared from summit. 



W. H. Hinckley, St. Camille, P. Q. — In this section the past 

 season was very dry, in fact, more so than in any year I have 

 seen in this territory. We are having cooperation of the Cana- 

 dian fire rangers and are working together as much as possible. 

 The greatest danger from fires here is on the Border and from 

 fishermen from the small towns. We had no fires on the Ameri- 

 can side this year. Would advise starting on the new lookout 

 station on Hardwood Mountain early in 19 16. 



Leon C. Irish, Haynesville — There should be a telephone line 

 built from Glenwood Corner to Wytopitlock Lake, one and a 

 half miles, also a tower on Beech Ridge Hill on the North Yar- 

 mouth Academy Grant. There should be a tower built on one 

 of the Oakfield Range of hills which would do away with four 

 patrolmen. A telephone line should be built from Hammond 

 Plantation in to 3, Range 7.
