 part, be applied to this purpose. 



New I'oads, including extensive changes of existing roads, require the 

 approval of the Forestry Coiumission in all cases where the new road 

 passes over Reserve land, and also where the funds derived from the 

 taxation of Reserve lands are intended to be used in helping to build 

 and maintain the new road. 



The construction of trails over any part of the Reserve lands requires 

 permission from the Forestry ('ommission. 



Whenever any new road or trail is to be constructed the roadmaster 

 or other official in charge of such work, or the person desirous of building 

 such road or trail, shall make application to the Forestry Commission 

 through the Warden of Forest Reserves. In this application the follow- 

 ing points should be stated explicitly: 



1. Location of road; wliere it starts, through what secHons and for- 

 ties it passes and where it ends. This is usually illustrated by a map, 

 accompanying the application. 



2. Kind of road, width of road, and, if necessary, right of way, and 

 nature of construction. 



3. Amount of corduroy and number of bridges and any other extra 

 structures necessary.

Temporary roads to remove timber, etc., require similar application 

 and approval. 



Old abandoned, temporary roads and trails, such as old logging roads, 

 etc., the Forest Oflfii'ers may recommend to have closed, if such closing 

 shall appear necessary for good patrol or otherwise facilitate the care 

 of the forest. 



IV. TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHdXE LINES.
