FORESTY, BOARD ARRESTS MAN FOR CUniNODflWN TREES
Detected After Doing Clever
Work ior Several Years;
Paid Damages
The Forestry Board of the .Vaza¬ reth Mora. Ian church have for sev¬ eral years noticed that large trees have been cut down and taken away without having secured perni'sfiioa. The board was constantly ou the natch but the party was able to cov¬ er his tracks until recently when the fellow was spotted. He would go into the wood at an unusual hour—o o'clock on Sunday mornings, when no person was expected to be about, and then cutting down large, live white and chestnut oak trees. he would cart the material home wh.sre It was used as fire wood.
Finally getting too bold, the hoard caught on to his tricks and notifleJ him to appear and explain his .nova- ments. He was careful to reniovL* a'! chips and the tops ot the tree.-,. H»fV- in^ very litle that could be tra.^ed of the removal of the tree, and 'he newly-cut stump was carefully corv- ered with ground and leaves s.o that it would not be noticeable.
It is the opinion ot the board that probably more than a dozen trees base been removed In this way djr- ing the past few years, hut only •i,<*ie taken recently could be traced hi- the new cut wood. When the fe.i.jw faced the committee and was a:.'tised of cutting four trees he confe.=>.sed iiis guilt and said he was willing to i.ay the dainages. It is hard to ascert:tii the value of a tree, but settle;.leul was agreed ujion and he prorai-.jd to pay $23 damages and $3 co.st', tie felt very guilty and expressed him¬ self that he was anxious to seMie the case without going into cour'.
The local Forestry Board v - :n communication with the Sta'e For¬ estry Commission and was advi.sed to try and trap the guilty par'r 3= the law is very specific in regard lo rut- fine timber on other people's Lit. !s
