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.
