authority on forest preservation, a result, from experience of 

 the matter, most desirable to avoid. 



14. To prevent trees being felled in places where there are 

 no young trees of approved kinds growing, to fill up the place 

 of those to be felled, and thus preserve the forest from being- 

 denuded of useful timber trees. 



15. Were Government to be responsible for this it might 

 cause trouble, but when it is necessary, another part of forest 

 will be given. 



16. To prevent waste of time and expense in looking after 

 cutting or removing of timber, it is desirable that all work be 

 completed within given time, but should circumstances occur 

 unavoidably to prevent permit-holder completing it, he may 

 have an extension of time granted by stating his case to 

 Government, in writing, before the expiration of permit. 



17. This is necessary to prevent Inspectors, &c, from being 

 imposed upon by designing persons. 



18. It is clear that frequent inspection is necessary, in order 

 to insure the carrying out of rules, otherwise permit-holders 

 would practically be allowed to do as they liked, notwith- 

 standing these rules. 



19. That Government may have information of what is 

 being done in forests, and how forest laws are being carried 

 out. 



20. To prevent Inspector's time being wasted looking for 

 felled trees. 



21. To prevent the felling of under-sized timber. 



22. This will prevent timber being stolen, and will aid in 

 the discovery of the party guilty of illegal felling. 



23. This article requires no explanation. 



24. The registration of stamps is important, as the stamp 

 marked on the permit might be effaced or altered, and then 

 could not be brought as evidence in a court of law.
