 Suggestion 200 

 (Forest Protection) 



SUGGESTED BY SUGGESTION 



E. Guertin, Re: Fire Protection Poster 



Sioux Lookout The phrasing for a new fire protection poster as con- 



tained in this suggestion is considered original. An 

 award of $10.00 is recommended. 



Suggestion 201 

 (Forest Protection] 



H.Taylor, Re: Hand Fire Pump Accessory 



Quinte Suggestion of innovation of dipper lid in a hand fire 



pump is considered original and having some practical 

 application. Suggestion for carrying provisions in can 

 is not considered practical due to baffle plates and the 

 possibility of food remaining in can which would 

 clog the pump and render it less efficient. An award 

 of $10.00 is recommended for the first part of the 

 suggestion. 



Suggestion 202 

 (Forest Protection) 



H. Taylor, 

 Quinte 



Re: Installation of Rotary Pressure Pump on 

 Outboard Motors 



The development of this idea would be an engineering 

 problem which may or may not have practical 

 application. The adoption of the outboard motor and 

 a pressure pumper to the operation of pumping water 

 and a form of jet propulsion is worthy of considera- 

 tion. An award of $5.00 is recommended. 



Suggestion 203 



(Forest Protection) 



E. Guertin Re: Revision of Form F.P. 25 By Plotting Loca- 



Sioux Lookout TION 0F Fires by Rectangular Co-ordinates. 



It is not expected that the location of small fires will 

 be accurately shown on the map accompanying Form 

 F.P. 25. Such a method would only apply to those 

 portions of the Province not surveyed into townships. 

 The suggestion has originality, but is considered to 

 have little practical value. An award of $5.00 is 

 recommended for the merit of the suggestion.

H. S. Hutnick Re: Directional Line Method of Locating Fires 



Air Service by Ground Crews from Aircraft 



This suggestion is not considered as original, and 

 although the theory is logical, the practical applica- 

 tion for use of locating fires appears rather question- 

 able. The necessary modification to aircraft, the 

 additional weight, the comparatively few times when 

 men cannot be landed close to fires, height of timber 

 and topographical characteristics would not warrant 

 the adoption of the suggestion. It is considered, how- 

 ever, that the suggestion has merit and an award of 

 $10.00 is recommended. 



Suggestion 210 



(Forest Protection) 



S. D.Roumbanis, Re: Revision of Existing Radio Communication 



Chapleau System 



This suggestion is one of centralization rather than 

 decentralization of control. To bring the suggestion 

 into effect would require a change in the departmental 

 policy of operational costs. While the suggestion can- 

 not be considered original in the exact meaning of 

 the word, it has merit and an award of $10.00 is 

 recommended.
