CHAPTER V. MISCELLANEOUS FACTS. 

 ARTICLE I, The Forest Staff. 



25. There are no sub-ranges. The present staff of the Bori Range is as 



follows : 



i Forest Ranger, 2 Range Assistants, 1 1 permanent and 3 temporary Forest 

 Guards and i Range Muharrir. 



In accordance with the re-organization of the out-door establishment it has 

 been suggested to increase this staff as follows : 



i Forester on Rs. 20 per mensem 



4 Forest Guards on Rs. S each per mensem. 



Of the staff of the range besides the Range Officer the fol'owir.g staff will be 

 almost continuously employed in the Bori Forest : 



i Deputy Ranger or Forester and 4 Forest Guards. 

 ARTICLE 2. Labour-supply. 



26. Sufficient labour can be obtained from the neighbouring forest villages 

 The recently re-settled forest village of Bori should be encouraged as it is incon" 

 venient to have no permanent supply of labour at hand in the centre of the forest. 

 The working of the forest should make this possible in spite of the fact that the 

 villagers can never expect much return from their crops. 



PART II. 

 Future management discussed and prescribed. 



CHAPTER I. -BASIS OF PROPOSALS. 

 ARTICLE I. Working circles how composed : reasons for their formation. 



27. The entire area, namely, old Bori is small and compact, constitutes a 

 single charge, and has to meet the same demand for produce. Hence from all 

 three points of view, sylvicultural, administrative and economical, it should form 

 only one working circle. 



This working circle has been divided into two felling series Jholi and Majhora. 



ARTICLE 2. Compartments: Justification of the Si,b-division adopted. 



28. The annual coupes and compartments remain the same as in the old 

 working-plan. A coupes i to 5 had been worked over from 1895 to 1902 coupe 

 6 will now become coupe i. There are 10 coupes in each block. Although some 

 of the coupes contain little or no teak it is advisable to treat the whole area by 

 improvement fellings with a view to subsequent application of the selection method. 



ARTICLE 3. Analysis of the crop : method of valuation employed. 



29. In the appendix will be found the result of enumeration surveys rarried 

 out in 1904-05 by Mr. Dandekar, Forest Ranger, under the supervision of 

 Mr. Caccia, Forest Divisional Officer, at the time. From these figures it will be seen 

 that there are 5,300 sound teak trees of over 5 feet 6 inches in girth: probably about 

 one-fourth of these or about 1,445 trees of 6 feet in girth will be cut during the next 

 10 years under the prescriptions of this working-plan. Of unsound teak there are 

 4,482, of which probably one-third will be cut giving a yield of 1,493 trees. In 

 addition there are 1,478 dead teak: this number is constantly increasing. There 

 will also be a certain yield from inferior species which, however, as a rule will not 

 be marketable. In addition a considerable yield from bamboos may be expected. 



CHAPTER II. METHOD OF TREATMENT. 

 ARTVICLE I. Objects sought to be attained and method of treatment. 



30. The objects sought to be attained are practically identical with those 

 mentioned in the old working-plan the intention of which was excellent, but which 

 only failed through not being observed. These objects can be summarised as 

 follows. To prepare the forest for the introduction of a regular system of selec* 

 tion fellings under which teak of large size can be regularly put on the market. 

 This object may, it is hoped, be attained by treating the forest to two periods of 

 improvement fellings of 10 years each. Owing to the present irregular nature of
