Installation of a gas system for the city of Baguio, Mr. Larazn be lieves, will slow down the timber cut for fuel purposes. It is estima ated that trees cut fur firewood constitute about 50 percent. of the total timber consumption with- in the Baguio zone and suburbs.
A policy of limiting the cutting of timber and firewood is being fol lowed strictly, in anticipation of a lumber shortage. In Baguio and proximity, the cutting of firewood is confined to dead and lying trees. In cutting timber anywhere, the trees to be cut are first marked by forestry officers. It is prohibited to cut those not indicated.
