   the said timber shall be taken as sufficiently accurate for
   the purposes of this sale, and no contract for the purchase
   shall be voidable, nor shall the successful purchaser be en-
   titled to any abatement in price, by reason of the said timber

   servator may require, and for this purpose the accounts and
   books shall be open to the inspection of the Conservator, a
   Forest Ranger, or other duly authorized officer.

   may be transported, and before a sawmill license is issued a
   letter indicating that satisfactory arrangements have been
   made in this connection must be produced to the undersigned.
