[No. 32
Indorsed promissory notes may be accepted as part payment of royalty.
- The Commissioner may, at his discretion, authorise the acceptance of promissory notes bearing good indorsements as part payment of royalty in advance. Such indorsements shall be deemed to be good if the Conservator officially recommends the acceptance of the same.
Applicant for license to state timber proposed to be cut.
- The applicant for a sawmill area shall state in his application what timber he proposes to use, and if such application is entertained he will be charged with such timber only, but such proposal must include all generally marketable timber on the land. Other timber not included in the application shall not be cut or used excepting for tramways or buildings.
Small trees protected.
- No black, red, or white pine, totara, miro, or other milling-timber of less than 12 in. in diameter at the butt will be included in the valuation, and the cutting by the licensee of any timber under the size specified, unless specially authorised, will be deemed to be unlawful: Provided, however, that smaller timber for laying tramways, building sheds, or other such purposes connected with the sawmill, may be cut and used in quantity to be approved by the Conservator.
Conditions of renewal of license.
- In the event of an existing sawmill license or of any sawmill license hereunder being renewed, it shall be subject to the regulations for the management and utilisation of the bush for the time being in force: Provided that before the issue of any renewed license the licensee shall produce a certificate from the Forest Ranger or other person duly appointed in that behalf to the effect—
(1.) That the timber has been cut in a continuous and regular manner;
(2.) That the sawmill has been kept continuously in operation, when not stopped by causes considered unavoidable by the Conservator;
(3.) That, where so provided against, no trees or saplings under 12 in. in diameter have been cut for sale, or destroyed by the act of or by the neglect of the licensee or his servants, and that none of the provisions of the regulations under which the license was granted have been violated.
Valuation of damages to forest.
- If at any time it shall appear necessary to ascertain what damage has been committed in a forest either by a licensee or other person, then the Conservator shall appoint a valuator to ascertain and assess the amount of such damage, unless the Commissioner shall otherwise direct; and no new license shall be granted until the amount of damage so assessed shall have been paid, in addition to the sum due by way of rent, royalty, and expenses of valuation.
License may be cancelled for improper cutting of timber.
