[No. 32
decision of such Commissioner as to the amount to be paid shall
be forthwith complied with, subject, however, to the right of the
licensee to proceed in any Court of competent jurisdiction for the
refund of any sum alleged to be overpaid.
Licensee to indicate extent of cutting.
- Every licensee shall point out the extent of his cutting when
required so to do by any Conservator or Forest Ranger.
Reservation of trees.
- A Conservator shall have power to reserve trees required for
special purposes on any area for which a license may be granted;
such trees must be branded with the letters F.R., and when so
branded they shall not be cut by the licensee.
Seizure of timber.
- A Conservator may cause to be seized all timber, wherever
found, which he may have reason to believe has been cut in a
forest under his management by an unlicensed person; but in case
a right to such timber shall be asserted within fourteen days after
the notice hereafter mentioned, and such right shall be established
to the satisfaction of such Conservator, such timber shall be re-
stored to the claimant.
Timber seized and not claimed shall be sold.
- All timber when seized shall be marked with a forest brand,
F, and after notice in writing of the seizure thereof has been
posted up for a period of fourteen days in the Land Office and at
the police-station in the district where such seizure was made shall,
in case the claimant shall not appear and establish his claim within
such fourteen days therefrom, be sold in such manner and subject
to such conditions as the Conservator may direct. In all cases
where the address of the reputed owner of such timber is known to
the Conservator, he shall cause notice of seizure to be served upon
him by means of the post or otherwise, but the non-receipt of such
notice by the reputed owner shall not invalidate the sale. Such
notice of seizure shall be in the form set out in Schedule D.
Removal of timber.
- All timber cut under a license must be removed during the
currency of the license, unless an extension of time be granted by
the Commissioner; otherwise such timber may be declared forfeited,
and may be seized, and sold on behalf of the Crown.
Proceeds of sale of seized timber.
- The proceeds of the sale of timber so seized shall be ac-
counted for and paid as money payable to the State Forests Ac-
count.
Construction of roads and tramways.
- The right to take, lay off, and use roads and tramways
within the area comprised in every license issued under the said Act
and these regulations is reserved to the Crown; and the Commis-
sioner may authorise the taking, laying-off, and using of any such
roads and tramways by any local body or by the holder of any other
sawmill or timber license other than the holder of the license over
the land upon which such roads or tramways may be authorised,
