DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1931 125 



STATEMENT OF TRAVEL PERMITS ISSUED 



(12) Operating Permits 



Section 24 of The Forest Fires Prevention Act, which requires that a permit 

 be secured to cover any kind of operation in the woods, was enforced and met 

 with general satisfaction. 



A total of 3,642 operating permits were issued under this section covering 

 operations employing 27,078 men. The number of operating permits refused 

 because of the danger of fire was very limited. In some instances permits were 

 given for limited periods only and then extended as conditions warranted. 



No fires escaped as a result of mining operations being permitted during 

 the summer months.
