I7.-Striking evidence sion is seen in the annual reports` of the Water and Light Commissioners for the town: of Barrie", just issued. Notwithstanding, `a reduction of thirty per cent. in rates during the two past `years, the water works department, for the year ending Nov. 30, shows a net prot of $3,- 283.89. In the electric light depart- men-t also a ne year is reported, the net prots being $2,177.67. At present the rate is nine and a half cents per one thousand kilowats, and this is to -be `reduced immediate- ly to nine cents. No charge is made for meters. Few towns in Canada low rates for a 24-hour service op- erated by steam. ' _ * of: the `success of mun.i-cipal control of public utilities under a` commis- I Iigh ]ir_r {hrs ,In connection with this we. may notice that Barrie ha-s two separ- ate plants for water and electric the size of` Barri-e can boast such light `which will` make it a little more costly, than it would be if the two were run in conjunction with" each other as they are in Newmar-7 ket. And Barrie,` after -supplying an all day and all night `service of light at 9 .1-2c. per 1000 watts and charging nothing for rent of meters .has a surplus` of $2,177.67, while Newmarket gives only an all night service, and charges rent for meters "and Ioc. per 1000 watts of electricity and---well who knows where they stand?

The. illustrated lecture of Dominion For- es-try Inspector Abraham Knetchel has lent a new-interest to this sub- ject of forest conservation and cul- tivation for'7prot and also along` the lines" of aestheticism. - ' -.,A_ -fl LIIC 1l_1.|\';D U]. nwaunnuuayago--.

The lo-gical combination -of these two factors has proved, as `may be conclusively. shown from extensive European and slight American experience, that the crop of timber upon the land pays a sure pro-t and at the same time exerts a wholesome infiuencebv. -in- creasing the supply and maintaining the purity of the, water. 1...

' They: are under. the super_vision. of _ the state or- imperial forest _service. an _'organi:zation= V of highly trained men. whose duty` it is to see that the land is devoted to the most pro- vtable species of :trees, that the [mode of management is adapted to the various species, that the timber `is- cut only when it has passed its most protable period of growth, and that every cutting is immediate- ly followed `by natural or articial regeneration of young treesof valu- able species. Under the state of- cers are locally-emp7loy-ed guards who follow the plan-s drawn up by the. superior ' oicers, transact the` business. do. the manual labor and- destructive agencies. ` v ` .1 I . n _ 3 ` I` 7 IJHDLI I;l\aIlvVC G5\uII\I\aao `In `the intensively rnanaged Ger- man forests the expenses of ad- ministration- are very high; much labor is employed, excellent roads are maintained and an attention `given to detail which could not be possible in `America. Yet, because of the high pricesrof tim er, and! -because the well-cared f forests produce a much. larger proportion ofmaluable timber per acre than our natural forests,` .the municipal forests are without exception highly prot- able. - ' ' l The city of Baden, with a popu-I *tion. of about 16,000, owns a forest] of 10,576 acres. The total income` from this forest averages $100,000` per year. All these communal for- ests are so managed, as to yield a per_man.ent income, uctua-ting.very_ 1i'ttl-e'from year to year. The total yearly outlay 0n- the Baden fo-rest israbout $33,000, nearly all of which is for labor. There remains each year a prot of about $66,000 for the city treasury, an average annual re-$ turn of over six -dollars from each} acre of forest; - I I The forest of Baden has been sol long under scientic .man-agementi ,that it has been "raised to a high`; state of productivity and is very! pro'tabl'e. `A newer forest is that` belonging to Heidelberg, a city of` ,44',oo0 inhabitants, whi-ch owns a own and manage forests as a suorce forest of 6,860 acres. ' The'Heidel- berg. forest is yet in the process ofl formation, the city is `still buying land.and spending comparatively- large sums in planti.n~gv which .1_nakes`the expenses comparitively large, while on. the other hand very little of the land bears productive forests and the: income is in con- sequence comparatively low. More`- over, the Heidelberg forest is man- aged as much _from. t-he aesthetic as from the business standpoint. Utlilityl and productivity are `in many in-I stances sacriced to beauty; the forest is made to serve as a park. Yet, though it is a young, unpro- ductive forest, though! it is kept in a condition which would put to ` shame many of our parks, the Hieid- elberg forest return-sp 'to- .theecity. which owns. it a "regularly increas- ing -annual prot which. is no-w about $13,000 per year, for about $1.90 per acre per ann.um. above all expens- e_s'_of ._maintenance and administra-,i tion. ' L A l Nearly all the villages in the State of Baden.` own and manage forests. Oberforster Jaeger of -Don- aueschingen, Germany, writes cou- cerningthe forests under his coit- trol: The village: of Bra-unlenger has` 1,601. inhabitants ' an-d owns 4,507 acres of forest. The amount yearly cut is 2,500,000 board feet of wood, comprising _both lumber and rewood; of_ this all the rewood is given to the citizens as Citizens? Gifts- up `to 3500 board, feet each (about seven cords` each); and . a total of about 100,000 board "feet of rewood '(about 2oo cords) is given to schools, town halls, churches and oth-eripubilic` -`buildings. The lum- -ber, amounting to- about 1,500,000 board feet annnually, is sold and brings to the community an average an-nual net income of $21,600, so that `the com'munity_ is ._not only free from all communal, taxes, but is. also able to establish~moder.n~ works, elfectrie ;lig!ht 'plants, a" water sys- tem, schoolhouses, churches `T and other buildings. ; .Even,_th`e,sm'a1l-i est villages prot by, ,t'hi,s common- sense use of the for`est'.- ` I I l l ....- V. uanu svnvulua ` The village of Aufen. consists of 220 inhabitants and owns 163 `acres- of. forest.` The forester gives to each. citizen about. 200 board feet (about four cot-ds)`o f rewood an- nually and -sells annually '85,ooo -board `feet of Itimber which cle~at_'.sV,_ for the com-munity more than: $1,449,. with`, which. the A total. expenses. of ` the t small village are met.
