Copy of endorsement by the Deputy Commissioner, Hoshangabad, en letter 

 No. -437 of 1908-09, dated the i6th February 1909, from the Divisional 

 Forest Officer, Hoshangabad, to the Conservator of Forests, Northern 

 Circle, Central Provinces, submitting Preliminary Working Plan Report 

 of the Bori Forest, forwarded through the Deputy Commissioner and 

 Commissioner. 



Hoshangabad, the igth February 1909. 



Forwarded. As I have only just taken over charge of the district and 

 know neither the forest nor the neighbourhood I have no remarks to offer. 



E. H. BLAKESLEY, 

 Deputy Commissioner, 



Hoshangabad. 



No. 799, dated Hoshangabad, the i$th March 1909. 



Forwarded. I have not seen the forest, but I have read through this 

 working plan and have no special comments to make. In one place it is said 

 that there is to be no cutting of sound teak under 6' in girth, but I think this will 

 be subject to some limitations, trees which are growing badly or checking the 

 growth of more promising trees being rendered liable to removal, even though 

 they may be sound. I am doubtful about the expediency of complete closure 

 to grazing for 20 years. There is seemingly no demand at present, but it is 

 hard to say what developments there may be in the course of 20 years, and I 

 would make the closure provisional. Should any demand appear it might be 

 considered whether there is no part of the forest where this might be allowed 

 without danger to tree growth. 



H. M. LAURIE, 



Commissioner, 

 Nerbudda Division.
