Special licenses.
- Special licenses for single trees may be granted at the discretion of the Commissioner, on payment of such fees as may be fixed by him.

- It shall be a condition precedent to the sale of any quantity of timber other than a single tree that a Forest Ranger or other officer shall first report on the estimated quantity, quality, and general position and value of such timber; and such report shall be forwarded by the Commissioner to the Minister, who shall decide in what manner the timber is to be disposed of.
Auction conditions.
- Timber sold by auction shall be subject to such terms of payment as may be fixed by the Minister in each case. If any balance of purchase-money remains unpaid for the space of seven days after the time limited for payment thereof, such Minister may declare the contract of sale, and all rights and privileges of the purchaser thereunder, to be at an end, and thereupon any moneys paid in respect of such contract shall be absolutely forfeited to His Majesty.
Timber sold by auction to be branded.
- Before any license is issued to any purchaser of timber bought at auction, all timber so sold shall be branded by a Forest Ranger on a space exposed by the removal of a chip near the base of each tree sold, and only such timber as bears such brand shall be felled, cut, sawn, or removed by the licensee.
