He explains that the government was interested in studying the timber qualities of the trees in the area and in effect commissioned the Italian firm "INCISAE" from Lissone, which, through Engineer Aldo Bert, carried out a preliminary study in 1940, the results of which they are synthesized in the three tables on the type of wood.

The second by Resolution of November 5, 1941, granting Mr. Víctor Funegra Trujillo, permission to exploit the forests from the Cordillera Diviso ria at kilometer 197 to the Boquerón in the Cordillera Azul At the end of this article we must bear in mind that Congress has already promulgated the Law that puts an end to the timber monopoly in Tingo María, thus opening a new era for this important industry that is receiving the enormous impulse of the great national demand, which is exacerbated by the lack of foreign wood.
