Stamping of trees (1) If the Forest Ranger recommends the issue of a licence in Form 3 where royalty is to be paid according to girth measurement, he or she shall inspect, measure, and stamp with the Government Sale Marking Die the trees applied for, in the presence of the applicant or his or her agent, and shall record in Part (2) of Form 1 their description and girth measurements together with his or her recommendation for a licence.

When trees may be cut No trees or timber shall be cut under a licence in Form 3 with royalty paid according to cubical measurement, or according to number where shingles are being worked, unless it be dead, windfallen, diseased, unsound or a remnant or unless the length of workable stem is less than 24 feet. All other trees shall be paid for by girth measurement, save where specially authorised by the Chief Forestry and Lands Officer for silvicultural reasons. 10. Payment in advance All royalties payable under licences shall be paid before such licences are delivered to the licensee or his or her agent. 11. Trees to be stamped before being cut No tree or remnant shall be cut under a licence in Form 3 unless the same has been stamped with the Government Sale Marking Die by an Officer duly authorised in that behalf, in the presence of the licensee or his or her agent, and the girth measurement of every such tree, and the measurement of every such remnant shall be recorded on the licence. No green standing tree of classes I and II shall be stamped for cutting or shall be cut under a licence in Form 3 unless it exceeds at the point at which it is measured the minimum girth shown in the right-hand column in the Fourth Schedule to these Rules. 12. Measurement of trees All trees exceeding 5 feet in girth to be cut under any licence granted under these Rules on which royalty is calculated according to their girth measurements shall be measured at a height of four feet three inches from the ground: Provided that if the tree has large buttresses its girth may be measured at such height from the ground not exceeding 8 feet as represents the junction of the top of the buttresses with the trunk, and a note to that effect shall be made on the licence form. Trees of less than 5 feet in girth shall be measured for the calculation of royalty at such lesser height from the ground at which they are to be cut. In all cases where trees are to be cut at a height less than 4 feet 3 inches from the ground, the Forest Ranger shall make a check measurement at a point below that at which the tree is to be cut, and shall record such measurement on the licence. 13. Marking of trees No tree or remnant shall be cut under licence in Form 3 until the same has been marked in paint or tar with the serial number allotted by the Forest Ranger and either with the initials of the licensee in letters not less than three inches high, or with his or her registered property mark, on a blaze prepared for that purpose by the licensee or his or her agent. 14.

(2) Removal permits shall be in Form 6 in the First Schedule to these Rules and shall be granted by such person as may be duly authorised in writing in that behalf by the Chief Forestry and Lands Officer. The date of expiry of a removal permit in Form 6 shall in no case be later than the date of expiry (including extensions if any) of the licence under which the timber to be removed was cut. Such licence shall be presented to the officer issuing the permit when a removal permit is applied for. (3) No removal permit shall be granted for any timber cut under a licence in Form 3 until each piece has been stamped with a Government Sale Marking Die by an Officer duly authorised in that behalf. It shall be the duty of the licensee to have the timber so arranged as to facilitate the stamping of the same. Each piece of timber to be removed that exceeds half a cubic foot in measurement shall, in addition, be clearly marked in paint or tar with a serial number, with the initials of the licensee in letters not less than three inches high and with the serial number of the tree by the licensee or his or her agent: Provided that such timber may be marked with the licensee’s registered property mark instead of with his or her initials in paint or tar, and the serial numbers may, in like manner, be stamped in figures not less than ¾ of an inch high. (4) No removal permit shall be granted for any timber on which royalty is payable by the cubic foot obtained from a tree or remnant cut under a licence in Form 3 until all marketable timber obtainable from such tree or remnant has been fashioned and paid for. 15. Unsound trees If any tree to be cut under any licence granted under these Rules on which royalty is calculated according to its girth measurements shall prove to be unsound the licensee shall work up all sound timber in such tree and shall pay royalty thereon by the cubic foot; and the Forest Ranger may stamp another tree of as nearly as possible the same size, and the licensee shall pay any increase of “royalty” which may thereby be incurred. 16.

Royalties and dues The royalties and dues payable under licences granted under these Rules shall be those prescribed in the Second and Third Schedules to these Rules: Provided that where for silvicultural reasons it is desirable to dispose of forest produce, and in the case of stunted and abnormal trees, the royalties shall be such as may be fixed by the Chief Forestry and Lands Officer. 19.
