172 THE ALGERIAN FOREST CODE 



ART. 43. The Waters and Forests officers, or employees to 

 whom they delegate these duties, shall inform the purchasers 

 by auction or by agreement, in writing, the places where pits, 

 kilns, or temporary and moveable furnaces can be established 

 for the use of the products of the felling area, as well as sites 

 for camps and workshops. They shall not be placed elsewhere, 

 under penalty of a fine of 10 to 50 francs ($1.93 to $9.65) for 

 each pit, kiln or furnace, camp or workhouse, constructed 

 contrary to these provisions. 



ART. 44. The transport of the products shall be made on 

 the roads indicated in the specifications, or on those authorized 

 during the felling, and those who make new roads shall be liable 

 to a penalty of 20 to 100 francs ($3.86 to $19.30), in addition 

 to damages if any are incurred. 



ART. 45. All purchasers by auction or by agreement, their 

 agents and workmen, are forbidden to light fires elsewhere than 

 in their dwellings or workshops, under penalty of a fine of 10 

 to TOO francs ($1.93 to $19.30), without prejudice to the claims 

 for damages resulting from the offence. 



ART. 46. The purchasers by auction or by agreement shall 

 not place on their sales areas products similar to those upon 

 which the contest is based, under penalty of a fine of 50 to 

 500 francs ($9.65 to $96.50). 



ART. 47. If in the course of the felling or clearing, reports 

 are drawn up with regard to trespass or felling violations, these 

 may be acted on without waiting for the official check of the 

 sales area. Nevertheless, in the case of insufficiency of any first 

 report upon which no sentence has been pronounced, the Waters 

 and Forests officers shall be able at the time of the check of the 

 sale area to take up, in a fresh report, trespasses and violations. 



ART. 48. The purchasers by auction or by agreement shall 

 be responsible from the date of their permit to fell, until they 

 are definitely exempt, for all offences against the Forest Code 

 committed within their felling area and in a zone 100 metres 

 (109 yards) in breadth beyond it, if their agents or sales-guards 

 do not report such offences within five days to the Waters and 

 Forests officer.
