Robinson, Minister of Lands and Mines for New Brunswick That the estimate made re- cently in the press regarding the cut of timber on Crown Lands of New Brunswick for the pre- sent season is approximately cor- rect, I am now in a position to confirm. The total cut will not exceed 100,000,000 feet. Our forestry department has fairly complete returns by this time and this figure is reliable. The cut of the previous year was about 200,000,000 feet and the cut of 1919 was about 365, 000,000 feet. These figures will give you an idea of the opera- tions on vCrown Land's in the Province of New Brunswick dur- ing the past three years. Our normal cut is from 200,000,000 feet to 300,000,000 feet The winter cut has been light on private lands as a rule. Very few portable mills are in opera- tion, through some few have started in much later in the season than I have ever known, largely encouraged by the attractive prices for lath, and are making a cut of entirely, or almost entirely, lath, for the American market. The pulp wood situation is very quiet. The operations for pulp wood are few and the quantity is in about the same proportion as the cut of lumber. The Government has been very much interested of late in dis- cussing with the Committee of the Lumbermen, the question of Quebec scale vs New Brunswick scale, and Quebec system of fire protection vs New Brunswick system of fire protection. No definite conclusion has been reached at the time of Hon. C. W. Robinson Moncton, It is generally admitted that the New Brunswick scale on small logs is unfair but it has been in vogue for a long time, and as a mat- ter of fact, it is only a scale by custom as there is no lawful scale in New Brunswick which extends lower than eleven inches.
