tical bushmen of good judgment and well acquainted with the limit should be 

 selected, he, the limit holder, will nominate the man to be placed in charge of the 

 limit and his subordinates, if any, the department reserving the right to limit 

 the number of men to be employed on any limit and also to reject or 

 remove any man whom it tinds unfitted to discharge the duties of the position. 



It is hoped that limit holders will recognize the necessity of recommending 

 men of good judgement and cool temper who, while fully discharging their duties, 

 will not harass or annoy settlers or others, as, if an animus is created in the 

 breasts of the settlers the scheme will undoubtedly fail to effect the result ex- 

 pected. Limit holders will be expected to exercise supervision over these men 

 and see that they thoroughly and effectually perform their duties. 



With respect to remuneration the department thinks that the man in charge 

 of a limit should be paid dollars a day, which should cover board and 



ordinary expenses, and where subordinates are required, that suitable men can be 

 obtained at dollars per day, which should also cover board and ordinary 



expenses; the men will be appointed -bush and fire rangers and instructed from 

 here so as to clothe them with authority under section 14 of the Fire Act, and a 

 copy of the instructions will be furnished each limit holder. 



As the limit holder is reaping a large proportion of the benefit, it is intended 

 that he should bear one-half of the cost of men and expenses which may be 

 incurred under this scheme. 



The department will pay wages and expenses and charge to each limit 

 holder his proportion, which will be a charge upon the limit and an account will 

 be rendered at the close of the season, when prompt payment must be made. 



Should you desire to avail yourself of this scheme you will at once address a 

 letter to the department to that effect, stating the limits you wish protected, the 

 number of your license for current season, the number of men you would 

 recommend to be employed, and submit a list of those you would recommend for 

 appointment on your limits.
