Hardwood and other types — (4) A reduction of 50% of the Crown dues 

 on Hardwood and other types of timber not mentioned in (1), (2) and (3), 

 and such reduction in the bonus thereof in each case, as may in the opinion

The Minister further recommends that such reductions be granted on 

 the clear and distinct understanding that: 



(a) The reductions are of only a temporary measure and applicable to 

 the bush operations carried on during the present operating season 

 of 1934-35, which season expires on the 30th of April, 1935. 



(b) The reductions, subject to the rights granted thereunder, shall in 

 no way operate as an impairment of the original contract entered 

 into between the Licensee, operator or purchaser and the Crown. 



(c) The timber cut in accordance with or under or by virtue of such 

 reductions shall be manufactured in Ontario sawmills into the finished 

 product, such as lumber, ties, lath or such other product as is gener- 

 ally deemed to come within the scope of sawmill operations. 



(d) Fair wage rates shall be paid to workmen, reasonable prices charged 

 for van or other supplies and the Regulations of the Department of 

 Health approved by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council dated 

 17th of April, 1934, made under the Public Health Act, shall be 

 adequately enforced. 



W T here any grievances arise or dispute occurs in respect of this provision, 

 the Minister shall be the arbiter and his decision shall be final and conclusive. 



(e) Each Licensee or operator shall be immediately called upon to make 

 a survey of his possibilities and to submit a statement showing the 

 types and quantities of timber to be cut, the area or areas on which 

 proposed cutting is to take place and the location of the mill or mills 

 where the manufacturing shall be conducted, and shall sign an agree- 

 ment obligating himself to employ such numbers of men in the bush, 

 drive and sawmill operations, to purchase such equipment and 

 supplies and to cut such quantities of timber as shall be agreed upon 

 between him and the Minister, and to meet such other terms and 

 conditions as form part of any reductions in, or modifications to, 

 the contract price. 



(f) Monthly or other periodic submissions as may be determined by the 

 Minister shall be made by each licensee or operator showing the 

 number of men employed, the kinds and quantities of timber cut and 

 such other information as in the opinion of the Minister may be 

 deemed desirable.
