I have observed how such utilization
of a natural resource, v/hich o' herwise
would run in waste to the sea and
i ot remain and increase as a forest,
gives impetus to industrial life and
provides a safe and enduring invest
ment for capital. My ambition is that
the revenues of such development
■shall administer to the social welfare,
rs the operation of such developments
is administering to 'he economic wel
fare, of the communities which they
serve. With tlr-so views in mind i

the trustees to sco it that at all
