^^« paiting road is in the charge of the District Engineer, and its repairs are 

 paid for from District funds. o > e 



The following roads, which are the main arteries of the Range, hare to be kept 

 in good order so as to be passable for mules :— 



Misan to Sagti 12 miles. 



Dand to Sooli g 



New roads of the same sort are required in order to open out the Sain forest : length 

 trom the forest to the cart road, 8 miles. 



Ordinary roads or puths, when no longer wanted for the transport of timber and 

 tnel, need not generally be kept in repair, but will not altogether disappear and can 

 be restored when again reqnierd. 



Markets.—The size and importance of each of the centres 

 of consumption supplied from the forests uuder examination, 

 their distance from the forest and the produce consumed 

 in each, should be discussed with such detail as appears 

 necessary. 



The following heads under which the facts may be reeoidei should be borne in 

 mind ; — 



Name of market. 



Distance from the forest. 



Line of export. 



Description and quantity of produce consumed. 



Sources from which supplied. 



Quantities coming from Government forests. 



Bates paid by dealers. 



Mode and cost of extraction. — The manner in which the pro- 

 duce is extracted should be explained, and the cost of fel- 

 ling, transport, etc., should be given. Improvements will 

 of course often be suggested with the object of reducing the 

 cost. The establishment of new roads and the improvement 

 of existing lines of export may be justified in this section. 



JExample. — All the produce reaches the market by railway, to which it is convey- 

 ed from the forests distant from 3 to 6 miles by bullock cart. The rates charged 

 by the Railway Company are given below. The cost of conveyance to the line by bul- 

 lock cart amounts on an average to six pies per maund per mile. This is the chief 

 expense in the extraction of tbeprodace, and in a separate report it has been proposed 

 to substitute carriage by tramway for the present system. A tramway will reduce the 

 cost of extraction three pies per maund per mile. The cost of constructing the pro- 

 posed tramway, in accordance with the estimates given in the detailed report, has been 

 included in the financial forecast. 



Net price realised for the produce.— Upon the proper corsi- 

 deration of this subject often depend the exploitable age and 

 the method of treatment to be applied. The report should 

 state, separately for each class of produce, the purposes for 

 which it is used, the nett revenue realised after deducting all 

 costs of felling and extraction, etc. An example of the cal- 

 culations which may be necessary has been given in Chapter 

 II in discussing the exploitable age. The result arrived at 

 may be stated in words or in tabular form as most con- 

 venient.
