4. Records. Records pertinent to all Crown Lands of the Province are housed 

 in Records Office. Assembly, indexing and classification of all incoming 

 correspondence, compiling of new files and distribution to the offices in 

 which officials required any particular files, are the main responsibilities of 

 this office. An average of 425 files are on charge in a given day. Every new 

 letter pertaining to any of the 308,000 files is recorded, sent to the pertinent 

 offices for handling and finally added to the proper file for record. During 

 the current fiscal year, record files up to and including all plans and surveys 

 to the end of 1924 were microfilmed. 



5. Boat Licensing. This Section is responsible through the Federal Department 

 of Transport for the processing of applications for licences for all Department 

 Boats. Some marine units of the Department require only a licence number

 depending on the specifications of the marine unit in question. Specifications 

 of the boats supplied to this section were used to prepare the necessary 

 applications for licences.
