28 TAXATION OF FOREST LANDS 



Annual Cut 



The owner may with perfect safety cut 20 cords of pine and 

 15 cords of hard wood a year. It is not necessary, nor is it 

 desirable, that this exact amount be cut each year. The cut 

 of several years may be taken in one, if the work can be done 

 cheaper in that way, or the condition of the stand demands it ; 

 but over a series of five to ten years the average cut should 

 not exceed the above amount. 



Note. Twenty cords of pine and 15 cords of hard wood 

 would be turned in to the assessors as a basis for taxation 

 under the proposed method, whether the owner cut that 

 amount or not.
