 Fuel Supply — Wood-Cutting Permits to Municipalities. 



Attention was directed in the Annual Departmental Eeport for 1918, to the 

 efforts of the Department toward relieving the fuel situation in various munici- 

 palities throughout the province. The Crown Timber Agents were instructed to 

 select areas upon which wood was suitable chiefly for fuel purposes. They were 

 instructed to co-operate in every way with the municipal authorities in locating 

 such areas. 



In cases where suitable areas were found to exist, and where municipalities 

 applied to cut thereon, permits were issued for the cutting of fuel free of Crown 

 dues. 



Returns which have been received indicate that the following quantities of 

 wood have been cut by the municipalities indicated: — 



Municipality of Port Arthur 1,879 cords. 



Town of Keewatin 326 " 



Municipality of Bucke 200 " 



Town of Kenora 1,115 " 



City of Fort William 2113/4 " 



Municipality of North Bay 781>^ " 



City of Port Arthur 2,828 " 



Total 7,3411/4
