Sect. 2. An annual tax is hereby assessed upon all 
 the property in said district, including rights in public 
 lots, to be used for the protection thereof. Said tax 
 shall be due and payable at the date of the assessment 
 of the State tax, in the years when the legislature is 
 in session, and for other years it shall be due and pay- 
 able in one year after the date of such assessment. 
 
 The rate of such tax is hereby fixed at one and one- 
 half mills on the dollar. The valuation as determined 
 by the board of State assessors, and set forth in the 
 statement filed by them as provided by the Revised 
 Statutes, chapter eight, section eleven, as amended, 
 shall be the basis for the computation and apportion- 
 ment of the tax hereby assessed until the next biennial 
 equalization. 
 
 The tax hereby assessed shall be valid, and all rem- 
 edies herein provided shall be in full force if said 
 property is described with reasonable accuracy, whether 
 the ownership thereof is correctly stated or not. 
 
 Sect. 3. The board of State assessors shall within 
 thirty days after such tax is due, prepare and file with 
 the treasurer of the State, a certificate setting forth 
 the description of each lot, parcel or right subject to 
 the tax hereby assessed, together with the tax com- 
 puted at the rate hereby established. 
 
 Sect. 4. The treasurer of the State shall cause lists 
 of the assessments made hereby to be advertised for 
 three weeks successively in the State paper, and in 
 some newspaper, if any, in the county where the land 
 lies, within three months after such tax is due. Such 
 advertisement may be consolidated with the advertise- 
 ment required by Revised Statutes, Chapter 9, Section 
 42, as amended. 
 
10 
 
 The said land shall be held to the State for the pay- 
 ment of the tax hereby assessed, with interest at twen- 
 ty per cent, per annum, to commence six months after 
 such tax is due as herein provided. 
 
 Sect. 5. Owners of lands so assessed and adver- 
 tised may redeem them by paying to the treasurer of 
 the State the tax with interest thereon, within one year 
 from the time when such interest commences. Each 
 owner may pay for his interest in any tract, whether 
 in common or not, and upon filing with the State treas- 
 urer a certificate showing the number of acres, and 
 describing the property on which he desires to pay the 
 tax, and where the same is located, and paying the 
 amount due, shall receive a certificate from the treas- 
 urer of the State, discharging the tax on the number 
 of acres or interest upon which such payment is made. 
 
 Each part or interest of every such township or tract 
 upon which the tax hereby imposed so advertised is not 
 paid, with interest, within the time limited in this sec- 
 tion for such redemption, shall be wholly forfeited to 
 the State and vest therein free of any claim by any 
 former owner. 
 
 Sect. 6. The tax assessed by authority of this act 
 shall be held by the State treasurer as a fund to be 
 used to protect from fire the forests situated upon and 
 within the district hereby created, and to pay expenses 
 incidental thereto and for no other purpose. 
 
 The State treasurer shall from such fund pay bills 
 for this purpose and also expenses incurred in assess- 
 ing, advertising and collecting said tax. Such payment 
 shall be made immediately upon approval by the State 
 forest commissioner and auditing by the State auditor. 
 
 Sect. 7. The forest commissioner shall take meas- 
 ures for the prevention, control and extinguishment 
 
II 
 
 of forest fires in said forestry districts, and to this 
 end he shall establish such sub-forestry districts as he 
 may deem necessary for effective protection against 
 loss or damage by fire. He shall have authority to es- 
 tablish lookout stations connected by telephone, and to 
 equip and maintain depots for necessary tools for the 
 extinguishment of forest fires. 
 
 Sect. 8. The said commissioner shall appoint in and 
 for each of said districts so established, a chief forest 
 fire warden, and he shall also appoint within such dis- 
 tricts such number of deputy forest fire wardens as in 
 his judgment may be required to carry out the pro- 
 visions of this act, assigning to each of the latter the 
 territory over and within which he shall have juris- 
 diction. All chief and deputy forest fire wardens, so 
 appointed, shall hold office during the pleasure of said 
 commissioner, be sworn to the faithful discharge of 
 their duties by any officer authorized to administe'r 
 oaths, and a certificate thereof shall be returned to the 
 office of such commissioner. 
 
 Sect. g. The said chief forest fire wardens, under 
 the direction of said commissioner, shall have general 
 supervision of their respective districts and of the dep- 
 uty forest fire wardens therein. Each chief forest fire 
 warden, when directed by the said commissioner, shafl 
 patrol the forests of his district for the purpose of 
 searching out, extinguishing and guarding against for- 
 est fires. He shall investigate and gather evidence re- 
 garding the causes of forest fires, enforce all laws re- 
 lating to forests and forest preservation, arrest all vio- 
 lators thereof, prosecute all offenses against the same, 
 and in this connection shall have the same power to 
 serve criminal processes against such offenders and 
 shall be allowed the same fees as a sheriff, or his dep- 
 
12 
 
 uty, for like services, and shall have and enjoy the 
 same right as a sheriff to require aid in executing the 
 duties of his office. Said chief forest fire wardens shall 
 perform such other duties, at such times, and under 
 such rules and regulations, as the said commissioner 
 may prescribe, and each shall receive as compensation 
 three dollars for each and every day of actual service, 
 with an allowance for expenses of travel and subsist- 
 ence not to exceed two dollars daily for such period. 
 The said commissioner may authorize the employment 
 of suitable persons to assist said chief forest fire war- 
 dens in patroling their respective districts and every 
 person so employed shall be paid twenty cents for 
 each hour of service so rendered by him and be pro- 
 vided with subsistence during such period. Deputy 
 forest fire wardens shall perform such duties, at such 
 times and under such rules and regulations, as the 
 said commissioner, or the chief fire warden of the dis- 
 trict, with the approval of said commissioner, may pre- 
 scribe, and they shall receive as compensation two dol- 
 lars and subsistence for each and every day of actual 
 service. 
 
 Sect. 10. Whenever a fire occurs on, or is likely to 
 do damage to forest lands within the district of any 
 chief forest fire warden, he shall take immediate action 
 to control and extinguish the same. If such fire oc- 
 curs upon or is likely to do damage to forest lands 
 within the territory of a deputy forest fire warden and 
 the chief fire warden of the district is not present, then 
 and in such case the. deputy forest fire warden having 
 jurisdiction of the territory shall forthwith proceed to 
 control and extmguish the same, and he shall mean- 
 v/hile, with all consistent dispatch, cause the said chief 
 fire warden of the district to be notified of the occur- 
 rence of such fire. Until the arrival of the chief war- 
 
13 
 
 den at the place of fire the deputy warden shall be in 
 charge of the control and extinguishment of the same. 
 For the purpose of controlling and extinguishing fires 
 as aforesaid chief forest fire wardens, and deputy for- 
 est fire wardens when in charge of the control and ex- 
 tinguishment of forest fires or when so directed by the 
 chief warden, may summon to their assistance citiz;^ns 
 of any county, and each person so summoned and as- 
 sisting shall be paid fifteen cents for each hour of ser- 
 vice rendered by him and be provided with subsistence 
 during such service. Immediately after the extinguish- 
 ment of a fire the deputy forest fire warden who for 
 any time may have been in charge of the same shall 
 make return to the chief warden of the district of the 
 expense thereof during the period of his being in 
 charge, including the names of the persons so sum- 
 moned and assisting, with their postoffice addresses and 
 the hours of labor actually performed by each under 
 his direction. The return shall be made upon oath and 
 the said chief warden is hereby authorized and em- 
 powered to administer such oath. Upon receipt of such 
 return the said chief fire warden shall carefully exam- 
 ine and audit the same and he may direct the deputy 
 to amend and correct any return found to be incom- 
 plete, incorrect or insufficient in form. If upon exam- 
 ination and auditing of said return, and investigation 
 of the subject matter thereof, said chief fire warden 
 believes said return to be just and correct, he shall 
 endorse his written approval thereon and forward the 
 same so approved to said forest commissioner. The 
 chief fire warden of every district burned by a forest 
 fire shall, upon the extinguishment of such fire, prompt- 
 ly forward an extract and detailed statement of the 
 expense, if any, which said chief fire warden may have 
 incurred in connection with the extinguishment of such 
 fire, to the said forest commissioner, who may con- 
 3 
 
firm, reject or recommit either or both said approved 
 return of said deputy or said detailed statement of said 
 chief fire warden if justice so requires. 
 
 Sect. II. All expenses incurred under the provisions 
 of this act shall be paid from the funds raised and 
 created by the tax hereby assessed. 
 
 Sect. 12. For the purpose of the better carrying out 
 of the provisions of this act it is hereby provided that 
 the chief clerk to the land agent shall be a dep*:ty for- 
 est commissioner. The said deputy shall hold office 
 during the pleasure of the forest commissioner and 
 perform such duties as the latter may prescribe. For 
 such services the said deputy forest commissioner shall 
 receive annually the sum of five hundred dollars, to be 
 paid from the funds provided under this act, in addi- 
 tion to the salary now provided for the clerk to the 
 land agent. It is* also hereby further provided that 
 the forest commissioner shall receive from the funds 
 provided under this act, the sum of five hundred dol- 
 lars, in addition to the salary as now provided by law. 
 
 Sect. 13. So much of the funds raised by the tax 
 hereby imposed and paid into the treasury as may be 
 necessary to pay the claims, accounts and demands aris- 
 ing under the provisions of this act is hereby appro- 
 priated to pay the same, and the governor and council 
 are hereby authorized to draw their warrants therefor 
 at any time. Any balance remaining unpaid shall con- 
 tinue from year to year as a fund available for the 
 purpose of this act.

 INSTRUCTIONS TO FIRE WARDENS. 
 
 Every warden should carefully study the law and 
 fully post himself as to his duties. The wild lands of 
 the state are incorporated under an act creating the 
 Maine Forestry District and the townships included in 
 this district are named in the law. 
 
 In making up their reports wardens should see that 
 they are made in accordance with the law thus avoiding 
 the inconvenience of having them returned for correc- 
 tion. 
 
 They should then be forwarded to the Chief Fire 
 Warden of the district in which the fire occurs who 
 will send them to the Forest Commissioner at Augusta 
 when they will be promptly paid. No warden should 
 neglect to send in every bill contracted at least once 
 a month. All bills must be approved by the Chief 
 Fire Warden in the district where the same is con- 
 tracted. See that your bills are certified to before a 
 Justice in accordance with the law. Whenever it is 
 necessary for you to pay out any money, be sure to 
 take a receipt and enclose it with your report. This 
 will be necessary if you expect to be reimbursed. 
 
 An important part of practical forestry is the pre- 
 vention of fire. This cannot be accomplished success- 
 fully without a well organized force in which the duties 
 of each individual are well defined and clearly under- 
 stood. To this end the following instructions should 
 receive careful attention. 
 
 It is the duty of the chief fire warden to see that the 
 district fire wardens are fully supplied with printed 
 notices containing the rules and regulations relating to 
 the prevention of forest fires. Early in the season fire 
 notices are sent to all wardens but more can be ob- 
 
i6 
 
 tained at any time by writing to the Forest Commis- 
 sioner. The district fire wardens should see that their 
 respective districts are properly posted with these no- 
 tices, putting them along each forest trail and location 
 frequented by fishermen and hunting parties. During 
 the dry season when fires are most likely to occur, es- 
 pecially in the spring before the trees are in leaf, the 
 chief fire w^ardens and their deputies should keep a 
 sharp lookout for any sign of fire and have everything 
 in readiness so that when the smoke is seen there will 
 be no unnecessary delay in reaching the spot. Fisher- 
 men, hunters and campers should always be cautioned 
 whenever the opportunity offers, to be careful in the 
 use of fire ; to refrain from throwing lighted matches 
 on the ground : and especially, to extinguish their camp 
 fires completely before leaving them. 
 
 All violations of the law relating to building fires on 
 the wild lands of the State should be carefully inves- 
 tigated, and when sufficient evidence is found the guilty 
 parties should be arrested and the matter reported to 
 the department at Augusta. 
 
 No instructions seem necessary here as to how the 
 work at a forest fire should be conducted, for it is as- 
 sumed that each fire warden has had ample experience 
 in this respect. At the same time it may be well to 
 •remember that backfiring should not be resorted to un- 
 til its necessity is plainly evident; and even then, the 
 entire situation should first be carefully examined and 
 well understood. 
 
 It should be remembered, also, that in controlling a 
 woodland fire, one hour's work in the morning or late 
 evening is worth six in the middle of the day. For 
 this reason, if a fire is not extinguished at evening, the 
 men should remain on the ground all night, and the 
 
17 
 
 fire wardens should make arrangements to send in food 
 and blankets to the crew. If the men are allowed to 
 leave a fire at evening and go back to their homes 
 much valuable time is lost. 
 
 Especial pains should be taken to ascertain the cause 
 of the fire, and the person or persons who started it. 
 Too many reports are received in which the printed 
 questions as to the origin of the fire are answered with 
 the words "Cause unknown." If attended to promptly, 
 there should be little trouble in ascertaining the point 
 at which the fire started, and in most cases who started 
 it. The facts then should be written out fully in the 
 report, no matter whom it may concern. Each fire 
 warden should discharge his duty fearlessly in this 
 respect, without fear or favor. If the fire warden is 
 unable to report definitely as to who the guilty parties 
 were and their connection with it, he should give his 
 opinion as to the cause and who were to blame in the 
 matter. 
 
 In addition to answering fully the printed questions 
 in the report the fire warden should furnish such fur- 
 ther information as may not be conveyed in the preced- 
 ing answers, and should take pains to include also 
 everything that might relate directly or indirectly to 
 the matter. After a fire occurs the chief fire warden 
 should, as soon as possible, mail the report of the 
 same to the Forest Commissioner, using the printed 
 form furnished for this purpose. 
 
 Every effort should be made by the wardens to bring 
 to justice any and all violators of the forest fire laws.

 Forest Commissioner. 
 
INSTRUCTIONS TO CHIEF WARDENS. 
 
 The forest fire season is approaching and I wish 
 for you to make your motto, EFFICIENCY and 
 ECONOMY. Of necessity in order to extend the 
 service over the danger period of the entire season a 
 fewer number of patrols must be employed this year 
 than last. 
 
 Use your men at the dangerous localities but have 
 each man do an honest day's work and do not have 
 two men travel the same route. 
 
 You are expected to work only when it is necessary, 
 not putting in continuous time when the danger does 
 not warrant. 
 
 Don't put on any patrols without first notifying this 
 department and having the men commissioned. This 
 rule will be strictly enforced. 
 
 In addition to the patrolmen who may be on from 
 time to time the following deputies hold commissions 
 and have been directed to report to you : 
 
 FRANK E. MACE, 
 Forest Commissioner. 
 
 INSTRUCTIONS TO WATCHMEN ON LOOK- 
 OUT STATIONS. 
 
 I 
 First I wish to impress upon you that you have been 
 commissioned to the position in charge of a lookout 
 station, not as a vacation pastime, but for actual and 
 hard service; and if you are not willing to accept the 
 position under these conditions please notify the de- 
 partment and another will be appointed in your place. 
 
You are supposed and expected to pu, '" ^°-^°^ 
 servke from the time you commence work until re- 
 lieved at the end of the season, or removed for cavse. 
 You shall be especially watchful and vgilant in d.y 
 and dangerous periods, being ever on the ,ilert for 
 igns of smoke in any direction from your statioiv A 
 he first indication of a fire locate it as nearly as 
 :sible and call the chief warden of the section in 
 which it is located. If at first you are unable to get 
 : Tomlmication with the chief warden, -<eep .e epon 
 ing until you get the warning to someone interested^ 
 Prom.pt notification may save thousands of acres of 
 timber from burning. 
 
 Use great care in looking after your telephone and 
 connections. Test it at the beginning of each uay 
 and i you find that it is not workmg endeavor to 
 ^c te the trouble and remedy it, as y°- '°*°" -^° 
 little value unless in telephone connection with the 
 ol'-de. Learn an you can in regard to the ^care__and 
 
 repair of ; 
 
 heavy rains wncii ii.viv, .- -- ^ _ 
 
 ,nn in your time travelling and inspecting your tele- 
 phone line, clearing a good trail to your station etc 
 
 At the end of each week promptly make out the 
 weekly report sheets which will be furnished you, and 
 mail the same to this department, also a copy to the 
 Chief Warden under whom you serve. I do not expect 
 you to leave your station in a dry time to mail the 
 reports- but when it can be done without interfermg 
 with the service, send the reports the first of each 
 week. In making up your data for these reports, take 
 care to ir.clude all the information possible, hote the 
 weather conditions day by day and state whether or 
 not the day was rainy, dry, windy, etc. Oive the 
 
 Repair of yourjines. On damp days and following 
 ,s when there is no danger of a fire starting, 
 
20 
 
 number and location of fires discovered durir.g the 
 week and who'.ii you notified in regard to the same. 
 
 (iCt in your camp supplies when it will not be dan- 
 gerous to leave your station and try and keep supplies 
 enough ahead to last through any extended period 
 v/hen it would be unwise to leave the station. Before 
 you leave the station get in communication with your 
 chief warden and notify him of your intention to do 
 so and where you are going. 
 
 Instructior.s as to the telephone connections, war- 
 dens in your section and whom to notify in case of 
 fire will be furnished you by the chief warden of your 
 diistrict.

 RAILROAD PATROL. 
 
 The Legislature of 191 1 passed a bill compelling rail- 
 roads to maintain proper patrol during dry and dan- 
 gerous seasons, the bill being entitled "An Act for the 
 better protection of Forests from Fire," and is as fol- 
 lows : 
 
 Section i. It shall be the duty of the forest com- 
 missioner whenever, in his judgment, the woodlands 
 along the railroads transversing the wild lands of the 
 state, over which said commissioner has jurisdiction, 
 are in a dry and dangerous condition, to maintain a 
 competent and efficient fire patrol along the right of 
 way or lands of such railroads. 
 
 Section 2. The forest commissioner shall keep, or 
 cause to be kept, an account of the cost of maintain- 
 ing such fire patrol along the line of such railroad, in- 
 cluding therein the wages and expenses of the em- 
 ployees engaged in maintaining such fire patrol, and 
 the total cost thereof shall be paid to the forest com- 
 missioner, by the railroad company along whose land 
 or right of way such patrol is maintained, such pay-
