1919-20 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 165 



several seasons to complete the road to Gowganda without considerable expenditure 

 upon additional plant and equipment. 



In conclusion, I have to say that all our road work could be carried on more 

 efficiently if our organization included more technically trained and experienced 

 road makers. Modern road building is an occupation by itself and too much 

 responsibility should not be allowed to rest on the shoulders of the local handy 

 man who has not had the training and experience necessary to do the best work. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



C. H. FULLERTON.
