A third provides more stringent rules for the disposal of 

 slash in logging operations. Fines may be collected in case 

 of violation by the town patrolmen and must be turned into 

 the town fire fund in the town where they are collected. The 

 fines are graduated, the highest being $100. 



The Legislature has also passed a bill providing for the 

 acquisition of cities of municipal forests. 



A constitutional amendment, upon vote of the Legislature, 

 providing for the setting aside of certain state lands for state 

 forests, will be submitted to the people at the next general 

 state election. 



An appropriation of $2,500 a year has been made by the 

 Legislature for exclusive use in the Burntside State Forest. 

 This money, according to the state forestry board, will be 

 used at first in the opening up of trails and portages in the 

 forest. 



The Warner bill, providing for the contruction of bathing 

 and clothes washing facilities in the lumber camps of the state 

 has passed the House. Representative Warner argued that 

 the lack of these things caused disease and vermin to spread 

 in the camps, and that when the camps were broken for the 

 summer the lumberjacks carried them to the cities. The bill 

 has not been acted on in the Senate. 



Everybody get in the game. One hundred and seven 

 persons have sent in paid up applications for membership 

 in the State Forestry Association since the last issue of the 

 North Woods. That means 107 new subscribers to the 

 North Woods. That makes a total of 208, a jump of more 

 than 100 per cent in thirty days. And there is still a major- 

 ity of the rangers to be heard from. 



Help us increase the membership of the Forestry Asso- 

 ciation. If you know of anyone interested in forestry send 

 us his name. We will do the rest.
