in the work to secure them from his predecessor or 

 write to Trenton for them. Wardens should send ior 

 f resn supplies when their stock is getting low and not 

 wait until everything is gone. (See sec. 71.) 



(17) Every warden should arrange to have at his 



disposal a horse and light wagon ready 

 Equipment. for i ns t an t use when needed. The 



wagon should be strong enough to carry six men. 

 (See sec. 69.) If he has fire-fighting shovels, or 

 other tools, they should be kept in a safe, handy 

 place ready for use. Fire-fighting tools, such as 

 shovels, rakes, etc., will be furnished to wardens 

 whenever they are clearly necessary. 



Brush Burning Permits. 



(18) Permits are required for any burning nearer 



than 200 feet to woodland or brush- 

 Se n n ec P e e s r s^ S land > or anything which will carry fire 



to the woods. Help your neighbors 

 and save yourself trouble, by informing them when 

 permits are not necessary, if they ask for them need- 

 lessly. 



(19) Permits must be issued free of charge and 



should be made out promptly when 

 permits free asked for and made as easy as possible 

 and good for for responsible persons to obtain. 



Make them a safeguard, not a burden. 

 A permit is good for only 7 days after being issued, 

 and a new one must be obtained at the expiration of 

 that time if further burning is required. 



(20) Wardens have ample authority and should be 



careful to refuse permits to any person 

 ^Refusal of who is careless with fire or when 



drouth, high wind, or other conditions 

 make fire unsafe. The permit law is intended to 

 oheck reckless or careless burning and your township 

 relies on your judgment and activity for its protection 

 from this danger. 



(21) Be careful about making it possible for any- 



one, except yourself, to make out a 

 Only wardens permit. Permits must be signed by a 

 authorized to warden and he is responsible for every 



permit issued in his name.
