not proceeded with by the applicant for the space of one month
after he has received notice of completion of survey or that his
application has been granted.
Commissioner may grant rights of way.
- Where it is necessary to grant to any licensee or other per-
son authorised to cut and remove timber, bark, or wood for fuel
from any forest, any right or rights of way through any part of the
same, the Commissioner may grant such right or rights, and may
impose such conditions in each case as may be deemed necessary.
But no such right shall exist for any period beyond the term speci-
fied in the license or authority.
Timber, &c., may be sold by auction or appraisement. Moneys
payable to Receiver.
- All timber and other produce within any forest may be dis-
posed of, either by auction at per 100 ft., or by appraisement, or
license to fell, upon such terms as the Commissioner shall prescribe;
and all moneys which shall be payable for such timber or other
produce shall be paid, in such manner as he shall direct, to the
Receiver of Land Revenue, to be credited by him to the State
Forests Account, as required by section 6 of the said Act.
Brand.
- When required by the Conservator, any person holding a
license to fell timber shall use a brand, and shall register the same
in the office of the Land Board for the district; and no two persons
shall use the same brand.
Illegal use of brand.
- Any person marking any timber with any brand not belong-
ing to him, or branding any timber belonging to any other person
with any brand other than the brand of the owner of such timber,
shall be guilty of an offence, and shall upon conviction be liable to
a penalty not exceeding £50 for each offence.
Fires spreading.
- Any person lighting a fire within a forest, or who shall
permit any fire lighted by him outside the boundaries of any such
forest to spread into or cause injuries to such forest, shall be
guilty of an offence, and shall upon conviction be liable to a
penalty not exceeding £50 for each such offence; but the payment
of such penalty shall not prevent the recovery from the wrongdoer
of the value of any damage which may be done by such fire, nor
prevent his being indicted for an offence or crime under “The
Crimes Act, 1908,” or otherwise.
Animals trespassing may be impounded.
- Any Forest Ranger, or person authorised for that purpose
by the Conservator, may drive any animal trespassing in such
forest to the nearest public pound, and such animal shall not be re-
leased therefrom except upon payment of the usual driving-fees and
poundage-charges. Nothing in this regulation contained shall be
deemed to limit or prevent the taking of any proceedings for the
recovery of any penalty or otherwise in respect of the trespass of
such animal.
