Mr. JOLY DE LOTBINIERE. Yes, there is a penalty of one hundred dollars 

 for every infraction, and every five years I send out a printed notice to this effect, 

 so that if there is any change of owner the new" proprietor of the land knows that 

 by the deed he is bound to certain forest restrictions and is told the penalty of break- 

 ing these rules. In this way the system has worked very well. But we have 

 never had to make a test case yet. It may of course come any day, when we shall 

 take prompt steps to enforce our rights and in that event perhaps at a future Con- 

 vention I shall be able to give you further information. 



The meeting then adjourned.
