31. In Singapore the outturn of timber and firewood was 1 and 14,400 
tons compared with no timber and 22,700 tons of firewood in 1928. The 
decrease in firewood was partly due to the reservation of the mangrove at 
Sungei Berih, but is chiefly accounted for by the exploitation of inland fire- 
wood that was paid for in 1928. Revenue decreased from $5,675 to $3,601. 
32. In Penang and Province Wellesley the outturn of timber and firewood 
was 168 tons and 1,516 as compared with 317 and 1,464 tons in 1928. Revenue 
fell from $984 to $830. 
In the Dindings the outturn of timber and firewood was 2,044 tons and 
2,017 tons compared with 4,444 and 2,010 tons in 1928. Charcoal increased 
from 160 tons to 398 tons. Revenue fell from $12,835 to $6,934. 
33. In Malacca timber increased from 774 tons to 3,485 tons and firewood 
from 873 tons to 3,302 tons. Revenue from Crown land fell from $5,437 to 
$5,119 but revenue from alienated land increased from $4,969 to $5,619. The 
total revenue fell from $29,900 to $22,103. 
OTHER FOREST PRODUCE. 
(a)— From reserved forests. 
34 - Revenue rose from $2,580 to $4,001. There were increases in the 
Dindings and Malacca, in the former from damar „ granite, and shell-sand, 
and in Malacca from j chiton g and Para rubber. 
The other Settlements showed slight decreases. 
35. In the Dindings the tapping of temak trees for damar , which was 
started in 1928, is progressing satisfactorily. The revenue from this source 
rose from $67 to $362. It is expected that, when the new cuts, which have 
been opened, give full yields, the outturn will again show a considerable 
increase. 
For the first time jelutong tapping was commenced in Malacca. 
( b) — From Crown and alienated Lands. 
36. 'There was an increase of $182, accounted for by the tapping of 
Para rubber in Malacca.
