. Time To Tighten Up -
. The forestry officials have had
a good deal of trouble and a lot
of work with bush fires in the
Smithers district and that ia}:

flre bug has operated this year in
the north. Those fires cost a lot
of money and often disorganize|'
business and cause much. incon-

venience. The forestry officials
are appointed to prevent fires, not |’
to fight fires. . They ean prevent.
the majority of fires by refusing
to issue permits and then pro-

 secute everyone who burns with-

out a vermit during the hazar-|.
dous season. The person respon-
sible for a fire shou!d also be re-
quired to pay the damages.
