TIMBER OWNERS
ANSWER REPLY
OF BUCKINGHAM
Timber Owners Point Out Their
Interpretation of Numerous
Regulations of Forestry Act
Editor of The Republican,

Editor of The Republican,
Dear Sir:
We invite the public attention to
the following reply. which is in
answer to certain charges appearing
on the front page of your paper last
week, pertaining to the Forest Con-
servancy Act. Those statements were
printed over the signature of H. c.
Buckingham, State Forester
No. |. Nh Buckingham has tried to
create the impression that in most
cases the land owner will not have to
get permit to cut his timber because
the cutting of timber for domestic use
is exempt by the law. The only eX-
emption in the law reads as follows:
"The Provisions of this Section shall
not apply to the cutting Of fire wood,
and timber for domestic use, for the
owner or his tenant, but shall apply
to all cutting not here-in-abOve espe-
cially excepted" This means clearly
that every timber land owner will be
required to get a permit before cut
ting any timber for sale. We have
never claimed that a land owner
would have to get permit to cut fire
wood and fence posts.
No. =. MI Buckingham says that
the owner will not be required to pay
for the inspections before a permit is
