CHANGE POLICI • OF .
TREES DISTRIBUTION
• a 0
The . OntariO Departnient of
Lands and Forests has made
changes in their:tree distribution
policy this year. No'• longer. can
a landowner secure trees free of
charge. All 'trees must now be
paid' for, at the 'following rates:
Scotch pine,' '$14.00 per .thousand;
and all other species, $10.00 per
thousand, andthe landowner
atill must pay shipping Charges.
• When a person sends In his
.application for 'trees he does not
send in payment at that time.
The Toronto office of the Depart-
ment will notify* the applicant as
• to the allocation of trees and the
.amount owing to the Department
for the trees. •
One of the reasons for. this
•
change in policy is. the • fact that
people have not taken , proper
care of the free trees. If the pub-
lic has to pay for the tr&• they
will take proper care of them
and see that they are all planted
