(ii) State of the Boundaries. — la order to justify, 

 proposed works of improyement, or the absence of any 

 proposal of the kind, with regard to the demarcation, it is 

 necessary to ascertain aud state whether the bouudary marks 

 are sufficient and suitable or not ; whether they are in good 

 or bad condition ; and whether they are well placed. In 

 some cases a re-demarcation of parts of the boundary may be 

 required, and, if so, this should be justified. The nature of 

 the surrounding properties, the likelihood of trespass, and 

 such other points as bear on the size, degree of proximity, etc., 

 of the boundary marks should be dealt with in such detail 

 as may be necessary in each case. A " register " of boundary 

 marks should not usually find a place in a working-plan^ 

 report. 



In many cases, for instance where the annual clearing 

 of the boundary lines for fire-protection or other purposes 

 is necessary, it may be advisable to state the length of lines 

 to be kept clear or the number of marks to be repaired, etc. 



The boundaries of private lands, included in the fQrest^ 

 should be described in the same way as the external- 

 boundaries.
