15. Owing chiefly to an increased demand for poles the out-turn of timber from 
the reserves of Penang, Province Wellesley, and the Dindings rose from 1,895 tons 
\ in 1918 to 2,219 tons > n 1919* There was also a large increase in the out-turn of fuel, 
especially from the Tanjong Burong Reserve in the Dindings, which accounted for 
10,277 out of a total of 10,845 tons. Revenue increased from $10,014.06 to 
$14,121.57. 
16. No change was made in the system in force in Malacca, under which Class 1 
trees in reserves are marked for felling. The yield of timber per tree of Class I fell 
from 3'6 to 3'2 tons, and the waste is reported not to have been excessive. The 
total output was 1,821 tons of timber and 56 tons of charcoal, which differs little 
from that of the previous year. There was a fall in revenue of §95. 
17. The out-turn from the reserved forests in all Settlements was 4,156 tons of 
timber, 18,190 tons of fuel, and 56 tons of charcoal, on which revenue to the amount 
of $22,081.41 was realised. The corresponding figures for 1918 are 3,742 tons of 
timber, 16,154 tons of firewood, 1 7 1 tons of charcoal, and $15,519.66 revenue. 
(£) From Crown Lands . 
18. The number of permits issued to collect firewood from the reserves in Singa- 
pore rose from 250 in 1918 to 323 in the year of report, which, at 20 tons per permit, 
represent an output of 6,460 tons. In addition 986 tons were removed in the form of 
poles. The revenue realised was $2,204.74, compared with $2,141.60 in 1918. 
19. The out-turn of timber from Penang, Province Wellesley, and the Dindings 
differed by only a few tons from that of the previous year, but the out-turn of fire- 
wood increased considerably. The total yield from the two Settlements was 2,555 
tons of timber, 7,565 tons of firewood, and 6 tons of charcoal, and the revenue was 
$9,101.49, compared with $7,804.04 in 1918. 
20. In Malacca the out-turn was 1,358 tons of timber and 31 1 tons of fuel, com- 
pared with 1,108 and 255 tons respectively in 1918, but there was a slight fall in 
revenue from $2,038 to $1,993, owing to the smaller out-turn of Class 1 timber. 
21. The total revenue on timber, fuel, and charcoal from Crown Land in all the 
Settlements was $13,299.23, details of the quantities extracted, amounting in all to 
4,898 tons of timber, 14,336 tons of firewood, and 6 tons of charcoal being given in 
Form 9b. The corresponding figures for 1918 are 4,442 tons of timber, 12,417 tons 
of firewood, no charcoal, and $11,987.64 revenue.
