FORESTS OF INDIA

Twenty-four Per Cent of British
Territory Covered by
Wooded Land
Annual Revenue Grows From
$4,000 to More Than
S3,3OO,OOO

The forests of India in the territory
under British control cover nearly
100000 900 acres, or "a per cent of
British territory. OF this a little over
149 O00,0 900 acres are state lands, prin-
cipally under forest.
7 The rest of India, comprising 10000
square miles, is made up of native
states under British suzerainty, some
of which, have as much as "a per cent
under forest. The value of forest
products annually exported is over
$155, 300. 900. The annual net revenue
from the state forests has risen in 40
years from $4,000 to $3,S00,000

The Indian forest service is one of
the most efficient in the world. The
right of the state to intervene for the
general welfare by protecting and de-
veloping the forest has been clearly
recognized and successfully applied.
This is. the reverse of the case in Great
Britain.
Great areas must be kept under for

High street citizens are jubilan
over the work which began this
morning of filling in the gulch at the
corner of High and Tustin streets. The
concrete culvert is under construc-

brought down to a grade. making the
longest level street IN tn city. High
street will undoubtedly be the most
popular speedway and residence dis-

Mrs. Cara Swafford suggests the
idea of changing the names High,

hills, to Highland Drive, High Court

would be suggested by citizens along
those thodoughfares.
