Forests and forestry -- Canada Periodicals. 1734 Canadian Forestry Journal, June, 191S In Ontario, similarly, the mileage of provincially chartered railways is small, and the legislative provision for their control is adequate, being administered by the Forestiy Branch Department of Lands, Forests and Mines. The Temiskaming and North- ern Ontario Railway has much the same status provincially that the Canadian Government Railways have from a Dominion viewpoint, being owned by the province and operated by a commission. This commission reimburses the Department of lands, Forests and Mines for one-half the cost of the special fire patrol main- tained along this railway by the Forestry Branch. In Quebec, the only provincially chartered railway of any consequence from fire protection viewpoint is the (Quebec Central. The Quebec Pub- lic Utilities Commission has fire reg- iilations parallel to those of the Dominion Railway Commission, and the Provincial Forester acts as an officer of this Commission in enforc- ing these regulations. In New Brunswick, the recent absorption of several small lines into the Government Railways system has very nearly removed the problem of provincial railways from further consideration. However, a few small and unimportant lines remain, and fire protection on such'is thoroughly provided for under the new Forest Fires Act of 1918, which is admin- istered by the Provincial Forester. Nova Scotia has of provincially chartered railways only the Cape Breton, Sydney and Louisburg, and Maritime Railway, Coal and Power Co. Provincial legislation is ade- quate as to fire protective appliances on locomotives and as to right of way clearing. There does not, however, appear to be provision for enforced patrol by railway companies or fixing responsibility on railways for extinguishing fires due to rail- way causes. Prince Edward Island, Saskatch- ewan and Manitoba have no pro- vincially chartered railways in opera- tion. kiiiii«
