56 REPORT OF THE FOREST COMMISSION. 



Other Railroads. 



The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, the New York, Susque- 

 hanna and Western, the Erie and the Lehigh Valley Railroads have 

 made practically no contributions to fireline construction, though the 

 latter did make three miles in 1910. It is especially unfortunate 

 that the two former companies have made no effort to follow the 

 example of the roads that operate in South Jersey. 



The total length of effective fire lines now in the State is ap- 

 proximately 250 miles.
