TRENTON, May 8, 19oe.-Plans to
stop destructive forest fires. which every
Fear cost the people of New jersey vast
sums of money and threaten hundreds Of
homes, were discussed at meeting yes
ierday afternoon of the State Forest
Commission, with Governor Stokes pre-
siding. Some of the most important mat

and the new AIinch law passed by the
last Legislature, was taken up. 1t goes
Into operation on July 4, and plans for
carrying out it's provisions were carefully
outlined
The commission decided to apply the
law to at least seventy-nine townships
throughout the State, hose in which
here are at least 1000 acres of woodland.
Under the new law the commission is en-
powered to appoint State forest warden
and also see that the various township
committees name district wardens. The
expense of the local dre-fghters viii be
divided between the State and the town
shipe. and by this means it is believed
that the people of the districts affected

problem.
During the last month there were more
destructive forest fires, especially in
southern New Jersey. than for some
years It Is impossible to tell what the
money loss has been, but it is probable
that it will run up into many thousands
of dollars. If the new lay, therefore, can
be made effective Ii will result in mate
rally reducing these fire losses.
The commission decided! to consider
further the plan of cooperating with mu-
inequalities and water boards. such as
Of their forest tracts, and also to make
further investigations with the object of
purchasing land, especially in he north
ern part of the State
The commission announced a well-de-
fined policy of locating as many demon
strative tracts as it is possible to secure
with the limited appropriation at hand in
hose parts of the State where it is be-
atieYed the most practical lessons in for
sstry can be taught. The commission,
however, still maintains its intention of
ultimately securing large reservations.
but cannot take this action until the Leg
Islature makes a.sufficient appropriation.
The commission has ordered number
of copies of the Fire law printed in
pamphlet form, and they will be thor
