and recommends legislation to prevent such 

 practice. 



Besolved, that the Canadian Forestry As- 

 sociation, in convention assembled, wishes 

 to place on record its deep sense of the loss 

 which has been sustained by the Associa- 

 tion and the cause of forestry in general 

 by the untimely death of the late E. G. 

 Joly de Lotbiniere, a past president of the 

 Association, and who, following in the foot- 

 steps of his distinguished father, was one 

 of the most active and faithful advocates 

 of forest protection in Canada and a strong 

 and earnest supporter of the work of this 

 Association. The services of the late Mr. 

 Joly de Lotbiniere to forest conservation 

 cannot be overestimated. By voice and pen 

 and by the publication of his own practical 

 studies in the forests he did important work 

 in the campaign of public education, and his 

 enthusiasm and kindly help were a great in- 

 centive and support to those who had the 

 plearure of working with him in the great 

 cause which he had so much at heart, and his 

 passing from our midst leaves a keen feeling 

 of personal loss. To his widow and family 

 we wish to convey our heartfelt sympathy 

 with them in their bereavement, 



And that the Secretary be instructed to 

 transmit a copy of this resolution to the 

 family of the late Mr. Joly de Lotbiniere. 



Eesolvcd, that the thanks of this Associ- 

 ation be tendered to those who assisted in 

 making the convention a success, and par- 

 ticularly to the Et. Hon. E. L. Borden, Et. 

 Hon. Sir W. Laurier and Mr. Gifford Pin- 

 chot. 



Besolved, that the Canadian Forestry As- 

 sociation desires most respectfully to con- 

 vey its thanks to His Eoyal Highness, the 

 Duke of Connaught, for the gracious exten- 

 sion of his patronage to the Association. 



Besolved, that the thanks of the Canadian 

 Forestry Association be tendered the Do- 

 minion Government for its continued assist- 

 ance to the Association in the grant of 

 $2,000 per year; also to the Government 

 of Ontario for its grant of $300 to the 

 Governments of Quebec and British Colum- 

 bia for their grants of $200 each, and to 

 the Government of New Brunswick for its 

 grant of $100; and that the Secretary be 

 instructed to endeavor to secure a grant 

 from the other timber owning provinces of 

 the Dominion. 



Besolved, that the thanks of the Canadian 

 Forestry Association be conveyed to the 

 General Managers of the Bank of Montreal, 

 Bank of Commerce, Merchants Bank, Mol- 

 sons Bank, Bank of British North America, 

 Imperial Bank, Eoyal Bank, Traders Bank, 

 Quebec Bank, Bank of New Brunswick 

 and Bank of Hamilton, for their con- 

 tinued assistance by making their 

 Branch Managers, or such of them as reside 

 in lumber districts, members of this Asso- 



ciation. This assistance is not confined to 

 the amount received, important as that is, 

 but it also introduces the subject of Fores- 

 try into communities where it would not 

 otherwise have a footing. The Secretary is 

 instructed to bring this matter before other 

 Banks, particularly those largely interested 

 in timber districts, that this plan may be 

 further extended. 



Besolved, that the thanks of the Canadian 

 Forestry Association be tendered to the rail- 

 ways of Canada for their kindness in grant- 

 ing special rates to the convention. 



Besolved, that the thanks of the Canadian 

 Forestry Association be tendered to the 

 Press of Canada for its continued support 

 of forest propaganda in publishing extracts 

 from the bulletins and other litreature sent 

 out, and in giving prominence to the meet- 

 ings of the Association. 



Besolved, that the Association desires to 

 express its appreciation of the faithful and 

 efficient work of the Secretary and staff of 

 the Association. 



Besolved, that, in accordance with the 

 notice duly given. Clause VII of the Con- 

 stitution be changed to read as follows: — 

 VII. The annual meeting of the Association 

 shall be held during the month of February 

 in the City of Ottawa, unless otherwise de- 

 termined by the Executive Committee of the 

 Association, and a notice of one month of 

 the date selected shall be given to each mem- 

 ber by the Secretary. 



Besolved, that the members of the Com- 

 mittee on Forest Fire Legislation be thank- 

 ed for their report, that the report be 

 adopted, and that the Committee be con- 

 tinued and requested to work out a scheme 

 of organization. 



Besolved, that the minutes of the last 

 meeting, having already been printed and 

 published in the Association publications, be 

 taken as read.

 as audited, be received and adopted, ancl 

 that the accounts therein are hereby ordered 

 to be j)aid.

 $10 each and thanked for their services, and 

 requested to act for the year 1912. 



Besolved, that an honorarium of $100 be 

 paid to the Treasurer for her services. 



It was then moved by Lt.-Col. Harkom, 

 seconded by Mr. Stewart, that the thanks 

 of the Association be tendered to our re- 

 tiring President for the able manner in 

 which he has conducted its affairs during 

 his term of office. 



This was passed by a standing vote. The 

 retiring President thanked the memblers for 

 their kind resolution, but said that anything 

 he had done had indeed been a labor of love.
