116 Annual Report of the Conservation Commission 



Two foresters, Messrs, Frederick A. Gaylord and Robert Rosen- 

 bluth, have resigned to accept positions elsewhere. Mr. Gaylord 

 is now superintendent and forester for one of the largest estates 

 in the Adirondacks, while Mr. Rosenbluth is superintendent of 

 an institution maintained by the city of New York. These men 

 rendered efficient service and knew our work and it is to be re- 

 gretted that this department cannot secure necessary appropria- 

 tions to pay them as large salaries as they can command outside. 



The efficiency of our work depends upon continued experience 

 and training of our men, and results cannot be accomplished 

 unless men who know what is to be done and how to do it can be 

 retained. 



Respectfully yours, 



C. R. PETTIS, 



Supt. State Forests
