No. 4.] REPORT OF STATE FORESTER. 583 



Conclusion. 



Each year heretofore the annual report of the State Forester 

 has concluded with the following heading: "Summary of 

 Recommendations." This is omitted this year, as we are not 

 asking for any new legislation other than is covered in the 

 general estimates that have been sent to the State Auditor. 



I am pleased to say that with the legislation of the last 

 General Court, the general program outlined by this depart- 

 ment for securing the fundamentals of a State forest policy, 

 which has extended over a period of eight years, has been 

 covered. 



We are, therefore, now in a position to exert our best energies 

 in accomplishing results. Let us all have a part in this splendid 

 work. 



Respectfully submitted, 



F. W. RANE, 



State Forester.
