FOREST, FISH AND GAME COMMISSION,

first time or second time, or any number of times, these working plans will neverthe- 

 less be ready to apply and will have a value when the repeal is finally made. The 

 larger the area of the Preserve covered by working plans the more forcible the argu- 

 ment in favor of the repeal of the clause prohibiting cuttings, since working plans 

 will be made only for those forest lands which have been proved by thorough inves- 

 tigation to be suitable for practical forestry. 



I would strongly advise that the area for which working plans be next prepared 

 shall be Townships 5, 6 and 41, Totten and Crossfield Purchase, Hamilton county.
