(6) Equipment 



Due to the exceptionally high fire hazard during the months of July and 

 August, it was necessary to purchase considerable extra equipment. The 

 total major equipment purchased during the year consisted of 66 fire fighting 

 units, 350,400 ft. of l>$ in. linen hose, 177 portable hand pumps, 106 tents, 

 902 pairs of blankets, 15 canoes, 11 motor trucks, 2 railway motor cars and 17 

 outboard motors. Of this equipment, a considerable amount of the fire fighting 

 hose and a number of tents, blankets and trucks were for replacement. 



(7) Improvements 



Little or no improvement work was carried out with the exception of the 

 construction of a storehouse at Sudbury, where a very fine building has been 

 erected, the entire work having been carried out by members of the staff. 



A great improvement was also made in the telephone communication for 

 Algonquin Park by the construction of a copper, metallic telephone line be- 

 tween Algonquin Park Headquarters and Huntsville.
