FOREST REGULATIONS.
An important alteration of the forest regulations affecting Crown land has been gazetted. It has been a grievance among sawmillers that comparatively large timber areas have h-?en secured by millers who owned small plants, and that those who went to the expense of installing machinery capable of dealing with a large output obtained no corresponding advantage in cutting rights. Under the new regulations, however, the area will depend upon the horse-power of the mill machinery, the maximum in the case of a mill of eight horsepower being 300 acres. There is a scale, rising to 1,000 acres for mills of between 19 and 20 horse-power, and 1.500 acres for mills of 80 horsepower and upwards. No change is made in royalty charges, but the whole of the forest regulations have been redrawn to bring them into harmony with the consolidated Act of 1908. i
