Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. 3 



DIVISION OF LAND AND RECREATIONAL AREAS 



The continued application of rejiulations and policy, which are constantly 

 brought up to date to effect improved administrative practice, has again resulted in 

 bringing to a finalization a great number of cases with increased dispatch and 

 efficiency. The graphs and tables forming part of this section show the volume and 

 work completed. An increase in some forms of land use is indicated, while there was 

 a decrease in others over the previous year. This is due to several factors. In the 

 case of summer resorts the demand remained about the same but it was possible to 

 finalize more applications by reason of being able to get more surveys completed. 

 In the case of land use permits, the increase is due primarily to the fact that occupa- 

 tion of land by this method of tenure is preferable to lease or licence of occupation, 

 and the cost of administration is only a fraction of that of the last two mentioned. 

 The decreases indicated are largely the result of clean-up of old cases during the 

 past few years, excepting in the case of free grant locations which were discontinued 

 in 1942, except to ex-service personnel. 



Licensing of Tourist Outfitters' Camps 



Prior to 1936. there was no licensing of Tourist Outfitters' Camps, whereas 

 now, all Commercial Tourist Outfitters' Crimps in the Province are licensed by either 

 the Department of Travel and Publicity or the Department of Lands and Forests. 

 Camps not classified as Tourist Outfitters' north of the railroad from Parry Sound 

 to Pembroke are licensed by the Department of Travel and Publicity. These Licences 

 are issued by the Municipal Clerks in organized territory, who retain the fee, and by 

 the Provincial Police in unorganized territory. The fee is $5.00 for the first licence 

 and $2.50 for renewal. 



The Legislation of the Department of Travel and Publicity covers the entire 

 Province, but that Department exempts those camps north of the Railroad from 

 Parry Sound to Pembroke licensed as Tourist Outfitters" Camps by this Department.
