New Brunswick Trebles Its Forest Income 



197 



The forest revenues of New Bruns- 

 wick have more than doubled during 

 the past year. It is estimated that 

 the total will amount to about $1,500,- 

 000. This is nearly three times the 

 forest revenue for 19 17, and closely 

 approximates the forest revenue of 

 Quebec. It falls only a few hundred 

 thousand dollars short of the forest 

 revenue of Ontario. This is on a cut 

 of some 343 million feet of logs, ties, 

 poles and pulpwood, supplemented by 

 some minor sources of revenue. 



The province of New Brunswick 

 has achieved this highly satisfactory 

 result by a thorough reorganization 

 of its forest service. This is now ad- 

 ministered by an Advisory Board con- 

 sisting of three representatives of the 

 Provincial government, and two rep- 

 resentatives of the timber owners. 

 Patronage has been eliminated and 

 efificiency and economy have been fur- 

 thered by making the one organiza- 



tion responsible for the various lines 

 of forest work, including fire protec- 

 tion, enforcement of cutting regula- 

 tions and timber scaling. The staff 

 employed consists of full-time men, 

 who work for the Government only. 

 Hence the scaling has been much 

 closer, and this fact, together with a 

 higher royalty and perhaps a slightly 

 increased total cut, has brought about 

 the immense increase in revenue and 

 thoroughly vindicated the Govern 

 ment's progressive forest policy.

 The Government have now disposed 

 of their entire stock of foreign soft- 

 woods, both at home and abroad. The 

 purchasers are the members of the 

 importers' section of the Timber 

 Trade Federation, and the price is 

 stated to be about £10.000,000.
