2955 copies this issue lie 0tonfi9flle fftcitantt section second ol 01 no 10 the tribune stouffville ont june 23 1w9 tree conservation bylaw a lot of wishful ideas have gone out in the newspapers about the proposed tree conservation bylaw for the county of york up for discussioi at the present session of county council the newmarket era and other weeklies are praising the step taken and are of the opinion that it should have been taken years ago we agree with our contemporaries that the bylaw should have been enacted years ago but the law empowering counties to pass such bylaws is only two years old of course years ago public opinion would not have allowed its passage however this tree conservation bylaw will not do much to preserve trees in the county of york there are few stands of bush left swamp lands in the northern part of the county will not be affected if the owner wished to cut since the farmer would have rights in those swamps that should not be interfered with and there is no water problem in any case all the bylaw can do when enacted is to prevent the cutting of trees under six inches in circumference at four feet from the ground thus no farmer would be denied the right to cut timber on his lands but he might be pre vented from holding a wood sale to cut the smaller trees after the timber is gone after all should the farmer be prevented from reap ing his harvest by selling his own trees if the county of york wishes to preserve these small trees it might be more fair to require the county to purchase the land on which they are growing then again the farmer may not want to part with his lands and thus you have a problem tree conservation is difficult to enact if it is to be fair to all parties there are other forms of conservation that the farmer might argue should be enacted for in stance suppose the size and number of newspapers were limited as a conservation of pulpwood then the papers would feel an injustice was being done the newspapers in any case if the trees are to be preserved for the benefit of all then all should share in the loss to the farmer but there is no legislation to cover this point the editor of the tribune as chairman of the york county reforestation committee for four years shared in inducing the government to create enabling legislation for ithis tree conservation measure but the department of forests and mines found it most difficult to formulate a law that would do justice to all parties what they have permitted the counties to pass may be of much greater benefit in more outlying counties but the day of selling wood lots in the county of york where preservation is badly needed is about over historic sibbalds church at lake simcoe 110 yrsjold ontario schools close with traffic safety lesson
