B. C.'S STAFF REORGANIZED. 



The British Cohambia Forest Branch has re- 

 cently undergone a connplete rearrangement of 

 its administrative organization, which will en- 

 able it to handle its large volume of work more 

 adequately, and render better service to the 

 public, than ever before. The return of the 

 great bulk of its technically trained forestry staff 

 fro moverseas service, coupled with the acquis- 

 ition of some new men, has rendered this pro- 

 gressive action possible. 



In recognition of valuable services rendered, 

 as well as of increased living costs ,the salary 

 scales have also ben revised upward in a v/ay 

 that will set the standard for other govern- 

 mental forestry organizations throughout Can- 

 ada. 



One of the features of the administrative re- 

 organization is the establishment of an ofTice 

 of investigations, whose duty it will be to con- 

 duct studies and researches into the various 

 problems connected with the administration of 

 Provincial Crown timber lands. This will in- 

 clude growth studies, volume studies, regenera- 

 tion surveys, methods and costs of slash dis- 

 posal, etc. 



The Forest Branch has full charge of all

phases of Crown timber land administration, in- 

 cluding not only fire protection, but the enforce- 

 ment of timber regulations, scaling, collection 

 of forest revenue, grazing and the development 

 of domestic and foreign trade in British Col- 

 umbia timber. The forest revenue to the pro- 

 vince aggregates upwards of $2,700,000 per 

 year and is now to be further materially in- 

 creased, due to the enhanced selling price of 

 lumber, upon the basis of which stumpage prices 

 for timber cut on Crown lands will be increased, 

 in accordance with the Forest Act.
