V- i^y^r AusiriarHitngart/. while at first much complaint against the enforcement of the regulations was heard, owners now ask constantly for its extension. The details of the duties devolving upon this organ- ization are found in a series of laws, applicable to differ- ent parts of the empire, which are baaed upon the recog- nition of protection forests, in which sanctioned working plans regulate the management. Forcible reforestation and employment of competent foresters in these are obli- gatory. Altogether about 60% of the Austrian forest area is managed under working plans. As a result of a translation from the French of De- montzey's great work on the reboisement of mountains, by T.

At the same time for the r^u- lation of the lower rivers an appropriation of $1,350,000 was made, of which $400,000 was to be used for refor- estation work. This work as well as the reforestation of the Karst under the laws of 1881, 1883, 1885, is carried on by the forest protective service. Oil the whole the forest policy of Austria tends toward harmony with forest owners and liberation of private property. By reduction of railroad freights, which are under government management, by abolition of export duties, by reasonable tax assessments, etc., the wood export trade (now exceeding 80 million dollars) is fav- ored; by the extinction of rights of user under liberal laws improvement in forest management is made possi-.
