CO-OPERATION WITH NEW HAMPSHIRE. 



Early in the season of 1910 through correspondence with 

 Hon. E. C. Hirst, state forester of New Hampshire, a system 

 of cooperation was entered into whereby Maine gets the benefit 

 of the Kearsarge Mountain station, located in Chatham, N. H. 

 This station can be reached by telephone through North Conway 

 and it overlooks a considerable territory in Maine.. Other sta- 

 tions overlooking Maine forests near the border are contem- 

 plated by New Hampshire. In return for this service the Maine 

 Forestry District gives to the bordering state any information 

 of fires discovered from the Aziscoos Mountain station, located 

 in Lincoln Plantation, Oxford County, which has a view of- 

 quite a number of thousand acres of forests across the border 

 line. 



According to the agreement entered into between the forest- 

 ers of the two states, when a New Hampshire lookout man dis- 

 covers a fire in Maine he shall immediately telephone to the fire 

 warden for the township where the fire is located, such tele- 

 phone bills to be paid by the Maine department at the end of 

 each month. Likewise when a Maine lookout man discovers a 

 fire in New Hampshire he shall immediately telephone the fire 

 warden nearest said location and for such telephone service 

 New Hampshire department is to pay the bills at the end of 

 each month.
