DEPAETMENT OF LAXDS AND EORESTS.

trade means to tlie Province of Ontario. We have collected in rents $810.00 

 which does not include the rents paid by the Grand Trunk Eailway and others 

 direct to Toronto. A number of new leases have been granted. 



I would recommend a survey being made of Eock Lake such as was made of 

 Cache Lake, and $10.00 being charged each applicant for lease in addition to 

 the rental to cover survey. This work could be done now to advantage, as it 

 could all be done on the ice with the help of our rangers, and the parties could 

 stop at our shelter houses. This lake is pretty well crowded now, and Eock Lake 

 is being taken up fast. It is very difficult to give a description of the parcels 

 asked for without a survey. 



School Camps. 



We have a number of school camps in the Park which represent some fifty 

 people, mostly boys. On Cache Lake we have The Large Girls' Camy) under 



Algonquin Park Inn, Railway Station, Pav...i.i.. 



the management of Miss F. L. Case, of Eochester, N.Y. At this camp we have 

 some seventy-five persons including help and instructors. These camps are a 

 great boon to the young people who attend them, and they go home from the 

 holiday built up mentally and physically, and it begets in them a love of the out- 

 doors that makes them infinitely better citizens wherever they may locate. 



CORDWOOD. 



The 541 cords of wood left over from last year, of the wood taken out ai 

 headquarters by our rangers and some help, has been shipped to different points. 

 The shipping of that taken out by jobbers still drags on and will nor be finished 

 until well on in 1921. 



• -Hotels. 



Tlie hotels in the Park have been crowded to their full capacity and many 

 applicants had to be refused while a great many people tented out all over the 

 Park. The Highland Inn will be open all winter, and is pretty well booked up.
