REPORT OF THE 



No. 3 



(5) Permits 



The total number of burning permits issued during the season was 27,031 

 for an area of 81,952 acres. Although the season was warm and dry every 

 encouragement was given to the settlers to burn, as conditions in most districts 

 were ideal for land clearing. Only in very dry weather can a burn be secured 

 which appears satisfactory to the settler. 



The large number of uncontrolled fires on private land was not directly 

 attributable to the liberal issuance of burning permits but rather to deliberate 

 incendiarism for the purpose of creating employment and burning without the 

 necessary permit and therefore without proper control.
