REPORT OF THE 



No. 3 



Of these the Hamilton at Kenora, the H.S. 2 L. at Fort Frances, the 

 Fairchild at Port Arthur and the H.S. 2 L. at Orient Bay were damaged beyond 

 repair. 



Apart from the regrettable loss of life and equipment the operations for the 

 season were very successful. Aircraft are being used more and more for trans- 

 portation purposes and less for detection as the tower system is pushed further 

 ahead. In spite of the bad fire season it was necessary to purchase commercial 

 flying only to the extent of approximately 200 hours. 



(10) Hazard Disposal 



Considerable headway was made in clearing up settlers' slash and in 

 disposing of the debris along roads and around settlements. Much benefit was 

 derived in this respect from expenditures made possible by the Unemployment 

 Relief Scheme.
