Salvage Timber Contracts have already been let by the Department of Lands and Forests for the hogging", for instance, where speculatively inclined persons! might figure on buying, Crown land at a low figure, cut sale. able trees and then move out, the regulations provide that no! timber may be cut without per- mission of the district forester, even though the purchaser actually owns the land.

In ottage property alone, the Division handled more than 3,500 applications this . year, of which a total of 700 were completed and chances are all the rest will go through as soon as surveys of the land are fin- ished. Shortage of skilled survey personal has held up many | transactions for more than a year. Method c obtaining Crown Land for a cottage is simple. 'The prospective purchaser simp- ly visits the district forester in the area chosen. The latter has maps and details. The price is generally set at 30 cents a foot frontage or $50 an acre or frac- tio; thereof. The 7 cottager places a small (deposit on the lot of his choice and the govern- ment machinery starts to work. Surveyors selected by the pur- chaser or provided by the Div- ision measure up the property in due course and then it is paid for. Once the purchaser has erected--or had built for him-- the required buildings, applica- tion for patent is made and if all details are complete, it is granted. ELECT BAS.
