STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting Council 10 A. NJ Wednesday,

fourteen one hundredths of one per
cent. of the total forest area of the
state. Although the number Of fires
was As per cent. more than usual.
the area burned was so per cent. less
than the average. While progress is
thus being made, it is important to
remember that our fire protective
system is still far from perfect.
1T also must be recognized clearly
that the fire danger is increasing
each year. The tremendous amount
of timber which has been killed by
the spruce budworm and which is
now falling rapidly creates a new and
dangerous fire menace. Present meth
DDS of cutting often result in the re-
moval of practically all merchanta bic
soft wood timber and the leaving of
a large amount Of slash which dries
out rapidly and remains fire haz-
ard for many years.
"Cut over areas because of their
exposure to sun and wind dry out
much more than similarly located
areas still covered by forest. And.
finally, the presence in the woods of
steadily growing numbers of persons
increases the danger from human
carelcssness, which, in the last an
alysis, is the cause of practically all
of our forest fires.
"This situation means that in
creasing1y effective methods of fire
protection must be used if it's cflic-
icncy is to he increased or even
maintained. We should not let up
in our efforts until all forest property
is so effectively protected as to be an
inSurable risk"

Coal Dealer Varies
With Word Praise for
State Fuel Director

Gov. Percival p. Baxter was much
pleased Tuesday to receive letter
from Charles A. Traitor, a Sanford
coal dealer, commenting the work of
State Fuel Director Andrew p. Lane.
Realizing that there has been
some criticism regarding your State
fuel director. am writing you to try
ana counterfeit some with a word of
praise" says Mr.. Traitor in his let
ter.
Up to Jan. II. of this year. I had
not found it necessary to call upon
your director for any assistance in
obtaining COAL continues Mr.. Traf-
ton
But on that date at p. NJ. ]
notified Mr.. Lane regarding a car of
anthracite coal which was lost in
transit and was overdue 20 days. l
also asked him for assistance in OBJ
tanning a car of bitumirIous coal. In
less than one hour from the time |
talked with Mr.. Lane, l was prom
ised Il car of bituminous coal from the
Kennebcc Wharf Coal company of
number confirming the shipment of
the same on the first mail into San
ford. Furthermore, in less than two
hours, Mr.. Lane had located the lost
car of anthracite coal at Ashton Lake
on the Delaware & Hudson railroad
and had made arrangements for the
same to be forwarded to us at once.
'Such service as this is deserving
Of high comment and appreciation
rather than criticism"

LITER Ward Seeks
Pardon, Says Not
Guilty Of Murder

A petition for tie pardon of Edgar
NJ. Ward of Gardiner. who is serving
Il life sentence in the states prison
at ThomaSton for the murder OF
Marie Bernier by giving her pois-
oned whiskey at Lewiston, was re
ccived at the Department OF State
today.
Ward was convicted in the supe-
rior court for Androscoggin county
at the October term of 1919 and was
committed to the states prison Feb.
i, 1921.
In his petition for pardon Ward
states that a grave error in fact has
been done by his conviction. that lie
is not guilty OF the crime of the
murder of Marie Eornicr, that lie
has at all times affirmed and main
tanned his innocence. that his con-
duct has at all times been that of an
innocent man. that he was convicted
wholly on circumStantial evidence.
that there was no motive for him to
commit the crime, that the evidence
presented was not sufficient to war
rant or justify u verdict of guilty,
that he had dumeancd himself in an
exceptionally proper way since his
Imprisonment and that further con-
tinement would work an unWarrant-
ed hardship On him.

NEED INCREASED
EFFICIENCY FOREST
FIRE PROTECTION

Forest Commissioner Samuel Il.
Dana, in discussing forest fire pro-
lection in Maine, Tuesday said, that
the years 1921 and 1922 were unus-
ually dangerous ones from the
standpoint of forest fires.
'In fact, the year 1921 was one of
the most dangerous years Of any in
the history Of the state" continued
Commissioner Dana.
1.-THE fire season opened several
weeks earlier and continued several
weeks later than usual, while alb
Sormally dry weather prevailed
throughout practically the entire
summer.
MANY streams and brooks disap-
pcared, the forest soil frequently
dried out sufficiently to burn to a
depth of two or three feet, and the
surface cover was like so much tin
der in which the lishtcst spark was
likely to start IL cOnflagratiOn that
might readily have swept a large
part of the state. From April % to
Sept. "a inclusive there was not a
single day in which a fire was not
burning somewhere in the state.
show an average of 147 fires per
year. an average acreage burned of
42.SS0 acres and an average damage
caused, of $172.917. The average
area burned over each year during
this period amounted to twenty nine
hundrcdths of one per cent. of the
total forest area. The difference be-
tween individual years is strikingly
brought out by the comparison be-
tween 1917, when only ass acres
were burned, and 1908. when 2G6.3S7
acres were burned. In 1921 there
were 3G2 fires. or 146 per cent. more
than usual, while the area burned
over was $3.50 acres, or only GO
per cent. more than the average. In
view of the abnormal conditions
which prevailed throughout the sea-
son. the wonder is not so large but
so little an area was actually burned
over.
1.-The year 1922, while not so crit
ical as 1921, was somewhat less fav-
orablc than tho average. as n matter
of fact. the season was a much more
dangerous one than is generally rec
oEniZed. May was n particularly dry
month. during which nearly as
many fires occurred within the For
ions year.
IF it had not been for heavy rains
about the first of June the situation
might readily have become as serious
as in 1921. A favorable summer
was an unusually warm and dry
spell. the last Of September and the
first 10 days of October. Woods
mon and others We're in unanimous
agreement that the forests generally
were drier than had been the case
NJ that time for ut least 25 years.
Gov. BaNter's prompt action in sus-
pending the hunting season was most
helpful in controlling the situation
and in preventing the occurrence OF
what might readily have proved to
he serious disaster.
During the entire year 1922 there
were ZIG fires that burned over an
area of "1.3SS acres. This represents
