The state forester is authorized to
appoint assistants, who in case of a
forest fire can expend the necessary
amount of money in extinguishing
the same and make the county com.
missioners of the county where the
fire occurred pay the bill. These Off
Gals in turn can levy and collect the
same from the land owner to whom
the forest belongs.
The new office is to be managed in
a scientific way, and we believe that
it is an initial step in the right direc-
ton. There is no more important
and yet so much neglected subject in
this State as the preservation of our
forests.
