The aforementioned qualities, quantities, and kinds as to the

A return giving the number of logs cut of each species and
their contents must be made quarterly by the licensee on the last

such other means as the Conservator 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.
The attention of all tenderers is drawn to the fact that the
local controlling body may require the successful tenderer to pay
any claims or charges which may be made by that body for the
maintenance of the road over which the timber may be transported,
and before a sawmill licence is issued a letter indicating that satisfactory arrangements have been made in this connection must be
produced to the undersigned.
Intending tenderers are expected to visit the locality and to
satisfy themselves in every particular on all matters relative to
