Amendment to Sec. 1840 of Act No. 2711 (Revised Administrative Code)
Act No. 3577, approved on November 27, 1929, amends Section 1840 of the Administrative Code to extend the period during which residents can take lower-group timber without a license by an additional five years, until October 25, 1935. This provision allows residents from areas without a designated communal forest to collect timber, minor forest products, and stones or earth for personal use, provided they do not sell these materials. A free permit from the Bureau of Forestry is required for the transportation of these products. The act aims to facilitate access to natural resources for local residents while maintaining regulatory oversight.
