CHAPTER IT. 



COilPLEMENTARY DISPOSITIONS RELATIVE TO THE 

 WORKING SCHEME FOR HIGH FORESTS 



The Special Scheme of Exploitations completes the Working 

 Scheme, and with this the Orgauisation Project itself may be strictly 

 regarded as completed, siace it may now be executed without the 

 help of any further prescriptions or data. Nevertheless there are 

 besides this some further measui'es to be prescribed, which are of 

 great use in providing against contingencies likely to interfere 

 with the Project, and in guaranteeing its faithful execution. Thus 

 it is expedient to establish what ma}' be called the Reserve Fund, 

 to arrange for the verification of the yield, to suggest necessary 

 works of improvement, and to provide for the revision of the 

 Organisation Project before the commencement of each sub- 

 sequent Period. 



SECTION I. 



The Reseeve Fund. 



The establishment of a Resekye FujsD in the organisation of 

 high forests is nothing more than the setting aside and preservation 

 of a certain quantity of standing timber from among the crops 

 brought under exploitation to serve as a sort of disposable savings. 

 A Reserve Fund is as necessary in the management of forests as 

 in every other large financial enterprise spreading over a long series 

 of years. Without any such Reserve to fall back upon in the case 

 of emergencies, an Organisation Project cannot but rest on an un- 

 stable basis ; at some time or other immature timber would have 

 to be cut or a deficit must occur.
