Excerpt from The World's Paper Trade Review A series of laws for the better preservation of woods and forests in Sweden were passed by Parliament towards the close of the session, and came into force from January 1st last. Among the principal provisions of these new measures are (1) that timber on private properties is not to be felled in a measure detrimental to reproduction, and that the soil is not to be treated so as to hinder the fresh growth of trees; (2) that the felling of timber in woods exposed to the action of shifting sands is to be under official control; (3) the creation and organisation in certain districts of forest boards with officials to whom various functions are assi ned; (4) the introduction of certain m ifications and new regulations as regards woods owned by towns, churches, schools, hospitals, or an other public institutions; (5) that leases o forests are not to exceed 50 years, and that where timber is concerned the leases are to be limited to five years. The total area of land covered by forest in Sweden in 1902 was put down at some hectares (about square miles). Of this area about hectares (say square miles) belong to the State, while the rest is private property. In this latter category are included woods belong ing to communes, towns and villages.
