TIMBER PATROL LAW It him been brought to to the alien- lion of the Slut«: Forester that aorne unscrupulous timber brokers are mis representing the provisions of the com pulsory patrol law which waa enacted by the recent legislative Assembly and lieromea effective June 2. Ownera of timber rlaima have been told that un der thia law it will lie neccaaary for them to keep a patrolman on their claims all summer at their own expense and thia has been urged as a reason for »acrilbe sales. Statements o f this kind are made purely for the purpose of sti.nutating the sale of timlwrlanda, thus i icreaslug the business and inri- dentlj the commiHSiona of timber brok ers. The law provides that every timber- land owner in the State, not residing within one and one-half miles of Ida properly, shall furnish a sufficient pa trol therefor during the dry season, and that in case he fails to do so the Slate Forester shall provide the same at a cost not to exceed & cents per acre per annum. Any amount so paid by the State shall lie a lien upon the land and shall be collected with the next l ixes. It is ibvious that the maximun ex pense to the owner of a quarter-section of tim crland cannot exceed $8.00 |>er year, on amount that should scare no owner into dis|>o*tng o f his timber claim »1 a sacrifice.
