lO FOREST COMMISSIONERS REPORT. 



In the above mentioned surveys the State was represented by 

 Hon. Forrest H. Colby. 



The Assessors of Seboeis Plantation informed this depart- 

 ment in the spring of 19 14, that the lines of the Public Lots 

 needed to be renewed, and according to said recommendation 

 Mr. James W. Sewall of Old Town, was appointed and made 

 the necessary survey. 



In the fall of 1913, while the owners of the South half of 

 Township i, Range 5, Aroostook County were making a division 

 of said Township the land reserved for public uses was selected 

 and located. 



The field notes and plans of all the above mentioned surveys 

 are on file in this office. In my judgment there are a few more 

 public lands that should be looked after, but there was no more 

 money available for this purpose. 



Under acts of incorporation by the Legislature of 191 3, two 

 Plantations, viz : Connor and Wade in Aroostook County be- 

 came Towns on the 12th day of July, 19 13, and the title to the 

 reserved lands in these two Plantations passes direct to the 

 Towns. All money in the treasury to the credit of the new 

 Towns, which has been collected from stumpage in the previous 

 years has or will be paid over to the Town Treasurer and will 

 become a permanent school fund. 



Cases of trespasses during the two years were few, but those 

 reported were carefully looked into, and money thus collected 

 has been turned over to the State Treasurer, to be placed to 

 the credit of the school fund of the plantation in which such 

 cases occurred. 



In the lumbering season of 1912 and 1913, this department 

 has turned over to the State Treasurer $25,652.98, collected 

 for stumpage and rentals from reserved lands of the different 

 plantations. 



In the season of 1913 and 1914 with fewer permits, it is ex- 

 pected that a little over $20,000 will be realized from the same 

 source.
