46. A number of feeder roads to the main road running to Bori will have 

 to be made to the various coupes, and some of these at any rate should be main- 

 tained permanently. For the want of such roads and of bridle paths the forest is 

 very difficult to inspect and thus requires to be opened up. 



47. Two huts exist, one at Dhain just outside and another at Bori in the 

 centre of the forest. These huts consist of one room and a verandah. They 

 should be replaced by suitable rest-houses which would cost about Rs. 2,000 each. 

 The huts could be converted either into Range Assistant's quarters or used 

 by Range Officers as a rest-house. A rest-house is also required about 6 miles 

 east of Bori as it is too far to inspect the forest properly in that direction with 

 Bori as a centre. This would also cost about Rs. 2,000 and a well at Rs. 500 

 will also be required. A Range Assistant's quarters and three Forest Guards' 

 huts will be required at Bori at a total cost of Rs. 1,000. 



CHAPTER V. MISCELLANEOUS. 

 ARTICLE i. Minor forest produce.. 



48. With the exception of bamboos, which have already been dealt with, 

 the extraction of minor forest produce need not be considered. The staff will be 

 fully occupied in treating the high forest. The resources of minor forest produce 

 over large areas of other inferior forests are by no means fully developed. 



49. In the next decade, during which period the forest will have been 

 thoroughly opened up, the existing maps and table of girth classes should 

 be thoroughly corrected and brought up to date. 



ARTICLE 2. Changes proposed in the Staff. 



50. In a scheme already submitted forthe re-organisation of the staff of the 

 whole Division the probability of Bori being again worked was kept in view. No 

 changes are therefore required. 



ARTICLE 3. Financial results of the proposed working. 



51. Nothing but a guess can be made at the financial results, but it is 

 estimated that the cost of working will be about Rs. 2 an acre or Rs. 2,706 

 annually, which should be recouped by the sale of the material cut. In addition 

 about Rs. 2,000 may be expected from bamboos. 



Increase of cost estimated is as follows: 



Rs. 

 Buildings are estimated at .. ... 7, SOD 



Roads are estimated at ... ... 20,000 



It should be borne in mind, however, that the present expenditure on this 

 splendid property will be amply repaid in future years and that the present work- 

 ing is for improvement of the forest and not for financial results. 



52. The present revised working plan was written by the undersigned 

 during the time he, was the Divisional Forest Officer of the Division. There was, 

 however, incurred an expenditure of Rs. 601-7-5 on its revision, being the pay 

 and travelling allowance of a Ranger, Deputy Ranger and two Forest Guards as 

 well as wages of some coolies engaged for some five months for the enumeration 

 of trees carried out in 1904-05. 



53. The following appendices are attached. This information was collected 

 by Mr. Caccia during the period he was in charge of the Hoshangabad Division : 



(1) List of chief species found in the forest. 



(2) Table of annual coupes and girth classes. 



(3) Area statement showing distribution of teak. 



(4) A brief description of compartments. 

 '(5) Concise summary of prescriptions. 



(6) Stock map.
