hundred feet from railway rights of 

 way. This is an excellent provision, 

 but should be made applicable to 

 privately owned lands as well. In 

 many cases, the efforts of railway 

 companies in the direction of fire 

 protection are largely neutralized 

 through the presence of large quan- 

 tities of the most inflammable de- 

 bris on lands immediately adjacent 

 to railway rights of way. 



Another excellent provision of the 

 new Quebec Act is that any fire 

 ranger or other forest officer may 

 summon any male citizen between 

 18 and 55 years of age to assist in 

 extinguishing any forest fire, the 

 rate of pay being specified, and 

 penalty being provided for failure to 

 obey the summons. 



The fire laws of the province of 

 Quebec are among the most pro- 

 gressive in Canada, but larger ap- 

 propriations are needed to make 

 them fully efifective. In particular, 

 provision should be made for a 

 larger stafl^ of inspectors. The pres- 

 ent stafif is not sufficient to exercise 

 proper supervision over the fire 

 rangers on licensed lands, nor is 

 there adequate provision for the pro- 

 tection of Crown lands not under 

 license.— C. L. in "Conservation."
