For many years Mr. Winter worked
at ,he hospital under Manning Camp;
oell. now overseer of the poor. and lass
right Mr. Campbell said: .Ae was M
most faithful servant the State Of
Maine ever had. In my acquaintance
OF more than 40 years he was always
ialthful and absolutely reliable. Dur:

as mail carrier he handled yaIrahlS
mail containing hundreds of thousandi
OF dollars. and never during all mo
experience did l ever know of the loss

Cured when the books at the hospital

terday advocates the beginning of
legislation that will create a protective
system for forest land in towns and
that will eventually result in the cs-
tablishmcnt of second district en-
bracing all such forest property. The
report of the legislative committee in
part is as follows:
I'VE already have an effective practi-
cal and well established fire protective
system for the great wild land area of
the state. 1t is not a perfect sys-
tenn and is fundamentally wrong in
that the owners of forest property are
assessed the entire expense of protect
ing this property from fire in the form
OF special tax which is assessed
against this particular property. where
as the expense should rightfully be
borne by the State at large. However,
this service is so important and SO
many calls are being made on the
treasury Of the State at this time
when all good business men agree that
the tendency of taxation should be
downward instead of upward that we
arc not inclined at present to raise this
! question although it represents a bur-
| den of $157,S94.22 directly borne by the
forests that should properly be distri-
buted among all properties of the
| state. We do recommend however
that the deficit of $4,000 now existing
and occasioncd by the unusual and
| tremendous fire fighting expense of
1921 should be assumed by the State
and propose legislation to this end.
! 1--WE advocate the beginning of legis-
/ lation that will create a protective
! system for forest land in towns and
that will eventually result in the cs-
Establishment of a second district en-
! n
the present time, separate valuation
of such forest property is not returned
so that it would be impossible to sup
| ply funds for the protection of these
! forests by special tax assessment
! even II such course were considered
, advisable. The expense then must
| come from direct appropriation by the
| legislature and as we cannot hope for
| and do not desire to ask for an amount
sufficient to effectively place such a
! system in operation at once, we pro-
pose that we endorse the request of
| the forest commissioner for an appro-
priation for forest fire protection pur-
poses and also approve of the recon-
| mcndation of this official that the ap-
pointmcnts of town fire wardens shall
have the approval of the forest COM
missioner.
These we believe will make possible
the beginning of an effective protec-
tive system for the five and a half
/ million acres of forest land outside the
| present forestry district.
Recent destruction of the spruce
and fir growth by the spruce budworn
has called attention to the importance
of Investigations in forest entomology
which will lead, if possible. to the
control Of similar loss in the future
The immense losses sustained seem to
Warrant liberal expenditures along this
! line.
