 EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OFFICE 



Copy of an Order-in-Council, approved by The Right Honourable the 

 Administrator of the Government of the Province of Ontario, dated the 24th 

 day of July, A.D. 1935. 



The Committee of Council have had under consideration the report of 

 the Honourable the Minister of Lands & Forests, wherein he states that, 



By Order-in-council dated the 23rd day of March, 1935, the Minister 

 of Lands & Forests was authorized to suspend the manufacturing conditions 

 so as to permit the exportation of pulpwood under certain conditions particu- 

 larly set forth in said Order-in-Council. As a result of representations made 

 by certain of the larger pulpwood operators in the Province before the Hon- 

 ourable the Prime Minister and certain members of the Cabinet, the Minister 

 recommends that the said Order-in-Council of the 23rd day of March, 1935, 

 be varied and supplemented as follows: — 



(a) That he be authorized to treat with the Provincial Paper Company 

 Limited and any other pulpwood concessionaire in the Province of Ontario 

 for the purpose of enabling those pulpwood operators who are in possession of 

 contracts for the sale of export pulpwood to operate on the concession of the 

 said Provincial Paper Company Limited or upon the concession of any other 

 pulpwood concessionaire upon such terms as may be mutually agreed upon 

 between such concessionaire and such operator, subject to the approval and 

 direction of and the issuance of permits by the Minister of the Department of 

 Lands and Forests. 



(b) That for all spruce pulpwood cut, whether for export or otherwise 

 during the operating season 1935-36, the Crown Dues be reduced from $1.40 

 to SI. 00 and that a permit to export any pulpwood of any kind whatsoever 

 cut during the said season may be granted without the imposition of the 

 export of 25c per cord. 



(c) That the operators be charged a ground rent and fire tax levy for 

 the season's operations of $11.40 per square mile and that the Minister be 

 authorized to rebate to the concessionaire such fire charge as the concessionaire 

 may have paid or may pay upon the areas upon which the said operators 

 may be required to pay the said ground rent and fire tax charges. 



(d) That the Minister be authorized to demand such security as he may 

 deem advisable from the operators to assure payment of the dues and charges. 



The Committee of Council concur in the recommendation of the Hon- 

 ourable the Minister of Lands and Forests and advise that the same be acted 

 upon.
