There were 89,000 square miles of forest left in Ontario. he said. which was not any too considerable when one considered that 2.120.000 acres had been burned over last year. of which 80 per cent. had been high- class timber lands. He went on to state the. department's determination to use every possible effort to cur- tail forest-lire losses in Ontario. Tho utilization of its own air force for that purpose. he said. had effected considerable economy. Before another year. he believed. a. system of slash-burning will have been devised which would constitute a. solution of a long-standing prob- lem in Ontario lumbering oper- ations. He intimated that when the system was worked out slash-burn- ing operations would be made com- pulsory on timber companies. As a step toward economy. the Minister said that there was urgent necessity for the working out of, some scheme to have complete cut- ting operations conducted in forest areas, where previously the pews- print companies had gone through and simply cut out the spruce.

In this act the Province claim the right to name the chiefs of the various divisions of the Supreme Court of Ontario. To Reduce Court of Appeal. tion stations about as had been done. but rather to enlarge the pres- ent Mid-had systems. MAY RAISE CONTROVERSY Mr. Nickle explained that the bill contemplated the reorganization of the Court of Appeal in Ontario. At the present time, he said. this court is composed of two divisions. each of which consists of tIve Judges. Five of the Judgee constitute the Perma- nent Court ot Appeal. and five are elected to the Second Division annu- ally from among the other Judgea It was felt, the Attorney-0eneral explained to the House. that too many members of the Judiciary were confined to that court, and the pur- pose of the hill was to reduce the Court of Appeal as a. division of the Supreme Court of Ontario to e, tri- bunal of eight members, so that it will permit this court to sit in two divisions it it so desires. One of these divisions is to 'be composed of three and the other of five Judges. In very important cues or cases of constitutional importance the At. torney-General may request the whole court to sit on decisions of such cases. Mar Nominate Chiefs. What the Attorney-General ex plained as a radical change in ttr act was a declaration by way 0 Statute on the part at the Provine that it had the right to nominate a Chiefs ot the various divisior Judge appointed by thtDotnirli.on.
