We mourn the loss of Capt. T. B. Tully, who was associated with this 

 Service since its inauguration, and who acted as Superintendent and Chief 

 Instructor. 



Capt. T. B. TuUy's flying record with the Provincial Air Service, Ontario 

 Government, was indeed a very enviable record and his loss to this Service 

 and aviation in general is very keenly felt. 



Operating Statistics. 



The statistical summary attached indicates the increased activity in almost 

 every phase of the season's operations and emphasizes the fact that the Air 

 Service is becoming year by year a constituent of the Forestry Branch for the 

 preservation of Ontario's forest wealth. 



The marked increase in the hours flown on operation, administration and 

 inspectioa duties was chiefly due to conveying Senior ofificers of the Provincial 

 Government on inspection duty to remote districts which, before the advent of 

 aircraft, were almost inaccessible.
