Fire-protection. — As stated in Part I, it is accepted tbat n&Iess forests open 

 to rights are fire-protected their deterioration must continue, and they must, in course 

 of time, disappear in accessible places, especially if the demand of right-holders ibr 

 timber and fuel is supplied, as in the past, from such localities only. It is therefore 

 proposed to extend protection to the following blocks: — 



All the other forests in the area dealt with, viz., Jogi Chur, Ander-Majhera, and 

 Kauria Chaur are already protected. _ The Bnriwala-Mahera block is an island, and 

 requires no fire-line for its protection ; but grazing might be stopped in it at the 

 beginning of the fire season. The extra cost which this protection will involve 

 is estimated, on the cost of similar protection in other areas in the division, at 

 K450 a year. This will bring the total cost of fire-protection in the tract to 

 E900 annually. 



Communications and buildings. — The roads, bridsjes, and buildings enumerated in 

 paragraphs 80 to 85, except the sleeper-carrying paths in the blocks which have been 

 worked out, should be kept in repair. A year before the selection' fellings in the 

 Deota forest are brought to a conclusion it will be necessary to make a good bridle-path 

 by widening the present path from Deota ; and a similar path should be made 

 later to Eamsu from Deota to Sahlra along the main ridge, a short one joining it from 

 Bamsu. Roads, passable for pack animals carrying food for the sawyers and coolies, 

 must also be made along the right bank of the Tons from Tadiar, passing by the month 

 of the Bamsugad to that of the Knnigad, down which will come all timber from 

 the Sahlra forest ; whilst branch roads will be required up the two gads referred 

 to, and also one from Nairitwar bridge to Koarbo, the road on the left hank of the 

 Tons as far as that bridge being widened and improved. 



Forest rest-houses and sei-vants" quarters should he built at the camping ground 

 in the Sahlra forests, and at the mouth of the Knnigrad. The Bamsu hut must also 

 he enlarged and improved. Houses for the Forest Ranger, and chankis for Forest 

 Guards will be required at Bamsu, Sahlra, Eunigad and Naintwar. Godowns for 

 the food-supply are also necessary at Bamsu, Sahlra and Naintwar. The cost of 

 these various works will, on an average, amount to E5,Q00 a year. 



Summary of works of improvement.— A summary of the 

 works of improvement may, in some cases, be given with 

 advantage. A brief description of the works, the probable 

 date of their execution as well as of their cost, should be 

 indicated.
