One of the very few towns where no 

 taxes are assessed is Freudenstadt, 

 Germany. This town of 7,000 has an 

 annual governmental expense of 

 825,000 and pays it all from the 

 revenue of 6,000 acres of town forest. 



Dr. J. T. Rothrock, Pennsylvania's 

 first Commissioner of Forestry, says 

 that during his lifetime he has seen 

 one-seventh of the State's area cease 

 to produce wealth. He says of one 

 section: "W^ooded. settled, cleared, 

 ruined, since 1725." 



The southern portions of Mani- 

 toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta 

 have no large supplies of wood. Up 

 to a few years ago, wood, cut local- 

 ly, was used to some extent, but, 

 with the gradual exhaustion of 

 these supplies, the demand for coal 

 is increasing yearly. The cordwood 

 used in the Prairie Provinces comes 

 from the Rainy River district of 

 Ontario, south-eastern Manitoba, 

 the western shores of lakes Winni- 

 peg and Manitoba, the Riding 

 mountains, the vicinity of Prince 

 Albert, the Kootenay district of 

 British Columbia and Minnesota. 



These sources of supply are at a 

 considerable distance from the cen- 

 tres of population, and, as cord- 

 wood is bulky, the long freight haul 

 to market largely increases the price. 

 Even in certain of the areas men- 

 tioned, supplies of cordwood are 

 becoming exhausted, and it is evident 

 that, under present conditions of 

 transportation, there is no likelihood 

 of its being used to any greater 

 extent than at present.
