In referring to coâ€"operation between the towns Mr. Brigham mentioned the forest fire menace as a question on on which towns and boards of trade shoumld specially work together for their eommon safety and protection. For Iroquois Falls and Timmins alike the forest fire menace threatened the possibility of large loss of property and life. ‘‘We share in common this danger,"‘ he said, ‘*let us do all that may be done to secure protection against a serious possibility.‘‘ (Mr. Brigham quoted figures from the 19822 report to show the large seope of the mining industry here.
