September 27, 1916. 



'The permit law was passed because it was felt that closer super- 

 vision of fires than was possible in any other way was necessary in a 

 forested country like British Columbia. In hazardous seasons all 

 permits already issued may be cancelled and the issue of new permits 

 refused until conditions are safer. 



"The majority of settlers are protected from the careless or igno- 

 rant minority who would endanger not only themselves but the pro- 

 perty of their neighbors by promiscuous lighting of fires in dry periods 

 if their activities were not controlled. 



"The system has worked extremely well, and is the greatest safe- 

 guard possessed by the settler in timbered regions. The holder of 

 timber lands also has reasonable assurance that his property is safe 

 from hazard which indiscriminate clearing fires would create.' '
