mature teak and some tinas over 18 inches in girth were extracted from a definite 

 area each year. The felling of teak was considered too heavy and . removals 

 have been made with a more sparing hand since. 



In the year 1897 the working plan at present under revision came into 

 force. The intention of the plan, however, was never carried out and instead of 

 light thinnings and clearings being instituted, what amounted to heavy fellings 

 were permitted. The result of this was that in 1902 after 5 coupes had been 

 gone over the Conservator stopped al! fellings and the working plan was held in 

 abeyance. Since then no working has taken place. 



ARTICLE 2. Special -works of improvement undertaken. 



14. The whole of old Bori, i. e., the area with which this Working Plan deals, 

 was put under systematic fire-protection in 1865. At present the exterior 

 boundary on the east and south is cleared and burnt annually. The Dhain-Bori- 

 Rorighat Road is fired arid so are several minor paths. 



15. A track which is passable for lightly laden carts exists from Bori to 

 Dhain. In 1008 a commencement was made on the export road from Bori to 

 Bagra, which is the nearest station on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway. 



1 6. Maps on the scale of 4 inches = i mile exist for the whole area. Stock 

 maps and an enumeration survey of girth classes were carried out in 1904-05. 



17. From time to time fellings and thinnings have taken place in the forest 

 mostly with the object of improving the forest These seem to have varied 

 greatly, however, according to the individual opinion of the officer-in-charge, so 

 that no continuity of working has taken place. 



At various times climbers also were cut. 



1 8. Two small areas, one on the low- lying land near the village site of Bori 

 above the Bori River and the other an old " Dahya " on the top of a hill just 

 above were planted up in 1869 71 with teak yearlings 6 / x6', the tap root b'eing 

 previously severed. The plantation on the hill top has been successful, but would 

 be the better of an admixture of other species. The plantation on the low-lying 

 ground is an entire failure due to grass and frost. 



ARTICLE 3. Past revenue and expenditure. 



19. As already stated no working has taken place since 1902. 



In the 5 preceding years coupes i to 5 were worked over. The resulting 

 revenue and expenditure is given in the table below :
