(5) The said Council may dispose of, by private sale, tender, or auction, any timber, trees, tree-seeds, firewood, or other forest produce on or from the said land.

(6) The payment of expenses of administration, management, and development of the said land for forestry and other purposes incidental thereto (including any expenses of supervision incurred by the State Forest Service) shall be a first charge on all moneys received therefrom, whether by way of rent, fees, proceeds of sales of forest produce, or from any other source whatsoever.

(7) In April of each year the said Council shall furnish to the Commissioner of State Forests a report for the year ending on the preceding 31st day of March, presenting in complete detail full particulars of the technical operations, and of the said administration of the land hereby vested in the said Council and the financial operations relating thereto, and shall at the same time submit a plan of operations and management for the ensuing year, which shall be effective on approval by the Commissioner of State Forests.
