140 THE FOREST LANDS OF FINLAND. 
While for some years the expense of conservation and 
exploitation was met, or nearly met, by the proceeds of 
sales, after a time this ceased to be the case. 
The revenue from the Crown forests actually received by 
the State, in marks, which may be reckoned as equivalent 
to francs, or, in round numbers, as tenpence sterling 
each was :— 
In 1866,  - - - - 154,274 Marks, 
», 1867, : - - 142,836 ,, 
*, 1868, . - - + 140,956 ,, 
>» 1869, - : - - 159,871 ,, 
»: 1870, - 230,249 ,, 
ayy. «2 = - 387,112 ,, 
But this revenue did not cover the outlay for salaries, 
wages, and other expenses, and the Treasury had to make 
up the deficit to the extent stated below, in the years 
mentioned :— 
1866, - - - 214,760 Marks. 
1867, - - - «+ 229869 ,, 
1868, - - 251,572, 
1869, - - - 200,592 
1870, - - - 126,232 |, 
The following more comprehensive statement, supplied 
to me by Dr. Blomqvist, shows a somewhat different 
result :—
