  OBSERVATION 
  stations 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  at 
  present 
  twenty 
  observation 
  stations 
  maintained, 
  

   where 
  observers 
  are 
  on 
  the 
  watch 
  for 
  forest 
  fires. 
  This 
  number 
  

   includes 
  nine 
  which 
  were 
  in 
  operation 
  last 
  year 
  and 
  eleven 
  which 
  

   were 
  constructed 
  during 
  the 
  past 
  winter 
  and 
  spring. 
  The 
  names 
  

   of 
  the 
  stations, 
  their 
  location, 
  date 
  of 
  installation, 
  costs 
  and 
  other 
  

   information 
  in 
  regard 
  to 
  them 
  are 
  submitted 
  herewith. 
  

  

  A 
  report 
  of 
  the 
  fires 
  observed 
  from 
  each 
  station 
  follows. 
  The 
  

   number 
  of 
  such 
  fires 
  does 
  not 
  agree 
  with 
  the 
  total 
  number 
  of 
  fires 
  

   that 
  occurred 
  because 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  fires 
  burned 
  early 
  in 
  the 
  season 
  

   and 
  before 
  the 
  stations 
  were 
  equipped. 
  There 
  are 
  also 
  fires 
  that 
  

   were 
  not 
  observed 
  from 
  any 
  stations 
  because 
  some 
  localities 
  are 
  not 
  

   sufficiently 
  near 
  or 
  in 
  proper 
  range 
  of 
  the 
  observers. 
  This 
  empha- 
  

   sizes 
  the 
  necessity 
  of 
  more 
  stations 
  properly 
  located.
