( h ) — From Crown and Alienated Land. 
31. Crown land in Singapore is estimated to have produced 16,164 tons 
of poles and 10,817 tons firewood against 5,714 tons of poles and 14,740 
tons of firewood in 1924. The revenue was $6,997, compared with $9,106 
the previous year. 
32. In Penang, Province Wellesley, and the Bindings the output of 
timber (5,015 tons) differed little from that of 1924, but firewood fell by nearly 
3,000 tons to 5,777 tons. Charcoal to the amount of 49 tons was extracted 
in the Dindings. Revenue rose from $8,354 to $10,097. 
33. In Malacca the total outturn of timber of all classes was 1,058 tons, 
the increase of 252 tons being due to an increased output of timber of 
Class II. Firewood increased by 120 tons to 468 tons. The revenue 
realised fell from $6,386 to $6,075, the decrease being due to the smaller 
number of permits issued for Class I timber. The ten per cent royalty 
on timber on newly alienated land amounted only to $5,301, or a little more 
than half of what was realised in 1924. This is naturally a decreasing source 
of revenue. 
34. The total revenue from timber, fuel, and charcoal from Crown and 
alienated land in all Settlements was $28,470, compared with $34,106 in 1924. 
MINOR FOREST PRODUCE.

35. The total revenue under this head was $2,969, compared with

$1,150 on kerang shell, $241 on canes, $117 on bertam, and $96 on nibong 
in Penang, Province Wellesley, and the Dindings; and $180 on rubber, $158 
on gutta-percha seeds, and $104 on getah jelutong in Malacca. 
(b) From Crown Land. 
36. The only items of importance in a revenue of $1,090 are $"415 on 
tcngar bark and $196 on nibong from the Dindings. In 1924 the total 
revenue was $1,496.

38- I he actual revenue differs little from that of the previous two years. 
Mie surplus over estimates is due chiefly to faulty estimating in the case of 
Singapore, to the higher royalty rates paid on produce from forest reserves 
in Penang, and to the unexpectedly large sum realised as compensation for 
trees on newly alienated land in Malacca.
