FUEL SUPPLY F
To Municipalities of the
Province of Ontario
A view in the hardwood forests in the Alyoneuln Park
COATING to the seriousness of the fuel situation
at the present time, the Government of Ontario
would urge upon all the farmers or others who may
have wood lots, to assist at this time by making
provision for their fuel supply from such lots.
The Government would also draw the attention
of the various Municipalities throughout theProvince
to the necessity of taking some Municipal action to
secure fuel supply. To this end the Government
has decided to issue to any Municipality in Ontario
a permit to cut fire wood in Algonquin Park orfrom
other Crown Lands free -of charge. For 'particulars
as to localities, conditions of cutting, etc., apply to
G. H, FERGUSON,
Minister of Lands, Forests and hfines,
