The town is about 85 per cent, wooded. This wooded area 

 contains mostly a dense healthy growth of white pine, pitch 

 pine, oak, chestnut and hardwoods, varying in size from 4 to 1. 

 There is a considerable amount of swamp in town containing 

 some hemlock and cedar. 



There are two sawmills in the town; that of Mr. W. R. 

 Wallis saws about 500 M feet of pine and chestnut per year, 

 while that of Charles Church, running about half the time, 

 cuts about 200 M board feet of chestnut and pine per year. 

 Mr. W. R. Wallis also owns a box factory which, in connection 

 with his mill, uses about 1,000,000 feet of pine, oak, chestnut, 

 spruce and cedar. Mr. R. E. Dudley operates a portable mill 

 during the fall and winter months. He cuts about 1,000,000 

 feet per year of pine, oak and chestnut.
