fire prevention devices on the service locomotives 

 used on the railroads in the state. 



These are all of them important and much needed 

 measures. 



On the whole the Special Session did rather more 

 for the forests than several previous regular sessions 

 have done. Only on the matter of direct appropri- 

 ations to the State. Forestry Board for fire protection 

 did they balk. This seems an unjustified slap at a 

 Board which has never misappropriated any state 

 funds, has conscientiously endeavored to give the for- 

 ests the very best protection the limited appropria- 

 tions allotted to it would permit, and has given the 

 state more for its money than the state usually gets.
