Respecting the extension of the leases, most of which are due to expire in about ten years, the lumbermen say that inasmuch as they have to the present time been judiciously operating on the timber lands, cutting where the timber is fully grown and not destroying the younger tracts, it would be of advantage, not only to thr lumbermen themselves, but to the province generally, that an extension of existing leases be granted so that it will be unnecessary for them to cut down within the next few years the timber that, because it is not fully grown, ought not to be cut within the life of the leases.
