. Canadian forest industries January-June 1920. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. April 15, 1920 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 57 Inquiry Into Timber and Pulp Concessions A commission, consisting of Messrs. Justices Riddell and Latch- ford, has been appointed by the Ontario provincial government to conduct an inquiry into affairs of the Departments of Lands, Forests and Mines. The investigation has been going on for some time now and will be a thorough one, covering timber limits, pulp wood con- cessions and mining concessions. Incidentally there will be some probing into ways and means of increasing the revenue of the pro- vince in these resources. It is the intention of the commission to go back through the records for ten years and see who holds the timber limits and pulp limits of Northern Ontario and the mining claims of Porcupine and Temiskaming. The Order-in-Council sets forth the following facts in connection with the scope of the work that the commission is undertaking: The accuracy or otherwise of all returns made pursuant to the Crown Timber Act, section 14, by any holder of a timber license. The cutting by timber licenses or other persons of timber upon Crown lands in respect of which timber licenses have not not been issued. Any damage done to the timber or freehold by any holder of timber licenses through violations of the provisions of the Crown Timber Act, and any regulations based thereon. As to persons who are or have been responsible, directly or in- directly, for any irregular practice in regard to the foregoing mat- ters, and as to beneficiaries of the same, and as the extent to which the revenues of the Crown have suffered, or damage has been sus- tained by the Crown thereby. And generally, to inquire and report as to all matters incident to the foregoing matters and into all other matters connected with the administration of the Crown Timber Act or any regulations based thereon.
