8. The licensee shall take all reasonable precautions by way
of providing such safeguards as may be required by the

thereto in consequence of any negligence or disregard of these
conditions on the part of the licensee or his workman, such
damage to be assessed by the Conservator of Forests, whose
decision shall be final.

milling must be carried on regularly and generally in a manner

right to withdraw from the license such areas as from time to
time are cleared of merchantable timber, and as areas are
withdrawn, ground rent will be reduced pro rata.
10. No compensation will be given, nor shall any be claimed,
for any error, discrepancy, or misdescription whatever in re-
spect of any lot or in these conditions.
