Timber royalties and forestry control in New South Wales
The deputation to the Minister on farmers timber use receives a detailed reply from the Commissioner of Forests. He defends forestry administration, notes Bloodwood as best but not used for sleepers, explains royalty grading since 1816, and presents tabled figures showing coastal rates raise limited Crown revenue. He states forests are a State asset and should yield net revenue above management costs. The minister reiterates the issue of allowing farmers to use special timber with standard royalty.
