without having paid any taxes to the municipality. The licensed land 

 carries only timber privileges, the land itself remaining provincial 

 property. On the map showing ownership conditions the outstanding 

 feature to be noted is the large amount of logged out land in the hands 

 of the Crown. It must also be taken into account that, as the com- 

 mercial timber will be exhausted within the next decade, the bulk of 

 the area at present under license will revert gradually to the Crown. 

 Furthermore, the licensed lands adjoin lands already in the possession 

 of the Crown. Such a condition of block ownership facilitates any 

 management that the Crown may deem expedient to undertake.
