When reserves are damaged the same procedure shall be followed as for reserves 

 overturned or knocked down, if the local agent decides that they cannot thrive if left 

 standing. If, on the contrary, the local Waters and Forests agent believes that the 

 damaged reserves may conveniently be left standing the purchaser will pay the amount 

 of damage caused the reserve in accordance with the estimate which shall be made by 

 the aforesaid agent. 



A record of these estimates and charges shall be prepared, which shall be signed by 

 the contractor or his agent, and addressed to the conservator, who, after having checked 

 and approved it, will see to the collection of the amounts due. This certificate is 

 exempt from stamp rights and registry. (Art. 80 of the law of May 15, 1818.) 



Notwithstanding all replacements or payments made by the purchaser in accordance 

 with the provisions of this article, the reserves overturned, knocked down, or damaged, 

 will continue to belong to the owner of the forest.

 or pitch and tar pits, temporary lime kilns, and yards for the sawing and sale of wood 

 provided the request is made to the local Waters and Forests agent who will designate 

 in writing the areas to be occupied and these where the leaves, moss, stones, cinders, 

 and necessary grass be removed. These products will be granted free, but the holes 

 resulting from their removal must be immediately filled and leveled. 



Art. 38. The purchasers will have the right to install portable sawmills in their 

 felling areas, for the manufacture of the wood, on areas designated by the local Waters 

 and Forests agent. They must cover the furnace smokestacks with a metallic screen,

 which is prescribed by the Waters and Forests agent. They are besides bound to

 for damages which may result from the use of these machines.

 been counted by the aforesaid agent or his delegate.
