DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1933 



107 





(10) Hazard Disposal 



No major hazard disposal operations were carried on. Some work was 

 done on the fire guards at Hornepayne, Oba and Armstrong and in most 

 districts considerable work was done in the way of investigating slash condi- 

 tions and supervising disposal of slash created by such operations as logging, 

 mining, settlers' wood cutting, road building, construction of aircraft landing 

 fields, Lac Seul clearing, etc. Most of this work was done in the winter months. 



(11) Travel Permits 



A total of 14,161 travel permits were issued covering 35,921 persons. 

 Due to reduced staff the issuance of travel permits to travellers along the 

 Ferguson Highway was discontinued. Other than this curtailment the permit 

 system operated satisfactorily throughout the province. 



As mentioned under "Legislation" the Dryden and Lake of the Woods 

 pulp concessions were closed to travel between August 10th and September 

 4th on account of the extreme fire hazard at that time.
