far-reaching effect rendered to Com
missioner of Forestry Robert S.
Conklin by Emerson Collins. Deputy
Attorney General.
The specific inquiries are as to
power to order abatement of a
break in a safety strip along right
of way of a railroad and the slash
ings left after lumber operations on
lands adjoining State reserves. To
order abatement of such conditions
is held to be clearly within the pow
er of the forestry authorities of the
State and the fire prevention act
should. in the language of the opin-
ion, be given such a liberal con-
struction and vigilant administration
as will best effectuate its salutary
ends" 1t is held that it would be
futile to establish safety zones and
permit breaks to go unchecked, Just
as it would be contrary to the spirit
of the various fire prevention acts
to allow conditions to remain in
slashings that would create fire haz-
ards. The warden must find the
hazard. definitely establish it and
proceed promptly to have the own
er abate it,"
"In case of persistent refusal or
neglect to remedy in a reasonable
complained of. the chief forest fre
warden should declare it public
nuisance and proceed to have 1t
abated." concludes the opinion.
