Suggestions. 



1 4. That no tree (even of the kind named in the permit) be 

 felled unless there be growing within 4 yards of it, more than 

 three young trees of the same kind (or any other kind named 

 in article 1), to replace the one to be felled, and the permit- 

 holder shall be responsible for any tree felled in such situation. 



15. That Government will not be responsible to permit- 

 holder, for the kind of tree being in that part of the forest 

 mentioned in the permit, or for the trees being of the required 

 size, but should it be necessary, the permit may be altered by 

 the Commissioners of Lands, or Inspector of Native Taxes 

 for any other part of the forest that may be agreed upon. 



16. That the permit-holder remove from the forest all his 

 timber, tools, machineiy, animals, and workmen, before the 

 expiration of permit, after which date all timber, tools, 

 machinery, &c, remaining in the forest shall be taken 

 possession of by Government, and for which the permit- 

 holder shall have no claim. 



17. That the holder of a permit produce or show his 

 permit at the request of a magistrate, tax collector, inspector, 

 sub-inspector, sergeant or corporal of police, or any European 

 constable, and any permit-holder refusing to show his permit, 

 may be arrested and taken before a magistrate. 



18. That forests in which trees are being felled be inspected 

 regularly once a month, once a week, or as often as may be 

 required by an inspector of native taxes, or other person 

 appointed by Government. 



19. That the result of such inspection be reported to 

 Government immediately after the inspection has been made. 



20. That the permit-holder will, if required, point out 

 to the Inspector of taxes, or any other authorised officer, the 

 place where each tree was felled. 



21. The Inspector shall verify, by measuring the stumps, or 

 by measuring the root end of the log (one side of which will, 

 if quared, lie taken for one-fourth of the circumference of 

 tree,) that no under-sized trees have been cut. 



22. That the permit-holder use a stamp or mark, with 

 which he shall stamp each tree he fells, and the stump from 

 which each tree was cut. 



23. That two permit-holders may not use stamps of the 

 same pattern. That it lie criminal to counterfeit any such 



tamp. 



24. That a register of these stamps be kept in the Com- 

 missioner of Lands' office, and that the stamp used by a
