Excerpt from Report of the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry, for the Year 1907 December 31, 1907. Hon. Edwin S. Stuart. Governor of the Commonwealth: Sir: I have the honor to present to you herewith my report of the operations of the Department of Forestry for the year 1907. It consists of a statement of the general operations of the Department. And of specific forest administration by foresters and other ofi'icers in the Department's employ. Also papers on subjects partaking of the nature of both. I submit also herewith a statement of the legislation obtained this year in furtherance of the Department's work. And the new forest tax bills which failed of passage. Forest taxation is proba blyth'e livest forestal subject just now before the people. And I beg to enlist your active cc-operation and support in assisting to devise some tax system whereby no harm will be worked, every one in some way benefitted, and our young forests protected and preserved by means of a better system of forest taxation. I beg to thank you for courtesies tendered. And have the honor to be, with great respect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
