32 Aaat. Consr of peepee Divinon,
33 98. Thecollections during the first two months of 1872-73 have amounted
34 Collections during two months of Yrespectively to Rs. 6,178 and Rs. 12,044-3,—total
35 1872-78, Rs. 18,222-3-0.
36 99. Although forest conservancy may appear to have been neglected, as
37 the only measure towards protection of the forests has been the restriction in
38 the size of trees to be felled of tho different classes, this restrjction has operated
39 for good, as from the Assistant Conservator’s report it appears to have con-
40 siderably checked the outturn of timber of small size, and thus in proportion
41 yreserved the stocks still standing. He reports that where formerly some 3,544
42 ae came down, only 916 have been brought down during tho past gs This
43 decrease, however, may in part be accounted for by the Lushai expedi-
44 tion, which no doubt kept many of the wood-cuttcrs from the forests.
45 100. It must be admitted that the protective measures are at present ver
46 indifferent, but the frontier tribes are such that it
47 will not be possible to do much to protect the
48 forests outside of a limited and reserved area.
49 General remarks.
50 101. The initiatory steps taken have been merely to obtain some kind of
51 check over the Capitans and wood-cutters who go up to fell and pur@hase. As
52 the Government turests gazetted in February 1871 were not declared to be
53 ‘‘open” forests (the Forest Rules at that time not having been published), the
54 Forest Department have no defined authority in them under the local rules.
55 It has been proposed to Government now to declare them ‘ open” forests under
56 the rules, so that the valuable kinds of timber in them may be protected.
57 As the tract is a very large one, it may be thought advisable to select certain
58 portions which are to be “open”? forests.
59 102. Reserves aro being selected, and are now under consideration, as has
60 becn already mentioned in section 2.
