 I — Forest Fire Protection 



(1) Legislation 



There were no changes in legislation during the period covered by this 

 report. 



(2) Organization and Personnel 



On November thirtieth a complete re-organization took place within the 

 Department which materially affected the forest protection staff. The fire 

 ranging and forest ranging services, formerly two separate organizations, were 

 combined and this together with the necessity of economy measures resulted 

 in the services of a number of the personnel being dispensed with. 



In the Kenora District a new Chief Ranger Division was created, Dryden, 

 with headquarters at Dryden. 



The Longlac Division was transferred from the Kapuskasing to the Port 

 Arthur District and the Franz Division from the Kapuskasing to the Soo 

 District. 



(3) Expenditures 



The total expenditure for the period was S204.644.56. The amount of 

 Fire Tax collected was $9,895.98 which with miscellaneous expenditure refunds 

 made up a total of $34,501.67, leaving a net expenditure of $170,142.89.
