view from Round Mountain lookout. Each of these lookouts is 
about twelve miles from Chandler Mountain. <A lookout on Chand- 
ler Mountain would be about twenty-five miles from Squapan 
lookout. 
It seems to me this is too large a territory to depend on three 
lookout stations to cover. It surely is in hot, smoky weather. I 
would recommend that a telephone line be hung from Norway Bluff 
telephone line to Chandler Mountain and from Chandler Mountain 
to Machias telephone line at the forks of the Machias, thus giving 
Norway Bluff lookout direct communication with Ashland central 
and Chief Warden. A lookout station if established at Chandler 
Mountain will need a 48-foot steel tower, three telephones and 
material for constructing fourteen miles of telephone line. If this 
lookout is not established I would recommend that a telephone line 
be hung from Norway Bluff lookout direct to Round Mountain 
lookout. In some way Norway Bluff lookout should be connected 
with Ashland central. This would take two telephones and mate- 
rial for about fourteen miles of telephone line. 
Another important recommendation I would make is that a 
camping outfit be furnished the Chief Warden, to consist of tents, 
blankets, dishes and cooking utensils for about thirty men, also two 
good cross-cut saws; I now know what it is like to try to borrow or 
hire an outfit with which to get into the woods to fight fire. 
In conclusion let me thank you for the consideration and help 
in my work that your department has shown me.

The first part of the past season was the driest we have had 
for several years, but, notwithstanding, we had only one fire and 
this did but very little damage. The past season I have done no 
new work, but have had sixty-one miles of telephone to keep in 
repair. I would recommend that a new steel tower, sixty feet 
high, be put on the west peak of Green Mountain, as this peak 
covers more territory and is only about two miles from the new 
Dole Brook road.

We started April 28th to go over our telephone lines, and put 
them in fine condition. It took some time as we had some 150
