Lumbering Still A Fairly Large Business In District
Lumbering remains a major industry in the Lindsay District with about 500 men on Crown lands and several hundred on private lands. The sector uses dozens of trucks bulldozers and power-saws, but still relies on horses for skidding. The season has been favorable due to light snowfall and frozen roads. District scaling teams process timber data before sending reports to Toronto. In 1953 wood using industries employed about 1,500 people across 140 plants, with wages near $3 million and produced $11.25 million in products.
