CANADIAN FOKESTSY ASSOCIATION . } 1 5 



RESOLUTIONS. 



The meeting after discussion adopted a number of the resolutions 

 passed at the Fredericton Convention, thus making them Resolutions of 

 the Association. These were Resolutions i, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Resolution 

 No. 3 was amended by deleting the last clause respecting the carriage of 

 fire wardens free, as it was thought this might weaken the main part of 

 the Resolution. 



Other resolutions were passed as follows : 



RESOLVED: That the following be a committee to study the possibility 

 of having a general log rule for the whole Dominion: Dr. Fernow, Mr. 

 Ellwood Wilson, Dr. Judson Clark (Vancouver), Mr. Piche, and a mem- 

 ber to be suggested by the Canadian Lumbermen's Association. 



(Later in the day the Secretary of the Lumbermen's Association 

 reported that Mr. Alexander MacLaurin, of Montreal, who was also a 

 member of the Canadian Forestry Association, had been nominated by 

 that body as a member of this committee and this nomination was ac- 

 cepted.) 



RESOLVED: That the names and addresses of the members of the 

 Association be printed as an appendix to the Annual Report. 



RESOLVED: That the by-laws of the Association be printed in the first 

 number of the Forestry Journal for each year. 



RESOLVED: That the following members be a committee to consider 

 the fire laws of the Dominion and the several Provinces and to suggest 

 legislation that, in their opinion, would more effectively prevent and con- 

 trol forest fires: Dr. Fernow, Mr. Thomas Southworth, Mr. W. C. J. 

 Hall, Dr. Judson Clark, Mr. Piche, Mr. F. Davison, Mr. Ellwood Wil- 

 son. 



RESOLVED: That (according to notice duly given by Mr. J. B. Mil- 

 ler) clause VII. of the Constitution be amended to read as follows: 



"VII. The Annual Meeting of the Association shall be held during 

 the month of February in the City of Ottawa, upon such a date as shall be 

 decided by the Executive Committee of the Association, a notice of one 

 month of which shall be given to each member by the Secretary." 



RESOLVED: That the Secretary be instructed to write to Monseigneur 

 'Laflamme, expressing the sympathy of the Association with him in his 

 serious illness. 



Resolutions were then, upon motion, referred to the Executive Com- 

 mittee for consideration as follows : By Mr. W. C. J. Hall, regarding the 

 permanency of forest reserves; by Mr. H. M. Price, respecting the in- 

 crease in the number of Directors; by Mr. Piche, in reference to the estab- 

 lishment of provincial branches and also recommending the issuing of the 

 Journal monthly, and in larger type.
