Land Problem
Will Be Heard
At Meet Here
The problem of the transfer
ral of county lands to national
forests will be aired ' before a
public hearing by the gover
nor's special committee here
January 4, County Judgo U. E.
Rceder disclosed today.
Grievances concerning the op
eration of the reforestation act
and other matters pertaining to
forestry and land use will also
be brought up.
Tho transfer of taxable lands
to the federal government In
payment for cutting rights in
national forests, instead of a
cash transaction, is slashing In
to Klamath county's tax Income
In two ways, Reedcr pointed
out. Lands are taken off the
tax rolls and the former pay
ment to the county .of 25 per
cent of the cutting rights pay
ment is avoided.
At present Senator Guy Cor
don has before congress a meas
ure calling for government
grants to the counties in lieu of
the lost tax income, and pro
ponents of the legislation hope
to get more power behind the
bill during this meeting.
Since the first of this year
some 327,000 acres of Shevlin
Hixon lands have been added
to the federal government's al
ready vast holdings in this dis-
