HOW BRITISH COLUMBIA HANDLES SLASH FROM NEW ROAD 



CONSTRUCTION. 



If allowed to lie by the roadside, this heap of slash would probably be responsible for cleaning out

Gangs employed by the Public Works Department of British Columbia burn the slash in piles, care- 

 fully guarding nearby trees from injury. Not only is a menace removed, but the appearance of the 



road gains immense'y.
