BA STERN LUMBER LAHDo.
Councillor Lumbsrt Will Have Some
thing TO Bay Regarding Them Before
the Valuation Commtssion.

II hear you are to be granted . hearing
before the Valuation Commission next
Tuesday, Mr.. Lambert. am rightly in
formeds ras the query Of the Journal re-
porter On meeting the obliging Councillor
from Aroostook before his return Saturday.
That is correct. vas to have appeared
before them Friday but circumstances
would not admit Of the bearing"
May | ask what your business will be
With the commission"
II represent certain lumber interests in
Eastern Maine. regarding the valuation Of
timber lands on the 81. John and Aroos-
took waters"
II suppose you Of course will take the
ground that the present valuation 10 too
high or at least oughsnt to be increased?r
What We want 10 . reasonable valus-
ton You mustn't &c, the idea that is so
prevalent among many people, that because
man owns in wild timber lands be 10 neces-
sarily wealthy or on the high road to wealth
One must consider that very few men in
Eastern Maine have got rich in this way
snd they are men that would succeed in
whatever they undertook. Furthermore
many of those are interested also in the
manufacture of lumber, and this latter
source of wealth is often overlooked"
But it would .eem reasonable that tim
Der lands had increased in value during the
past ten years"
They most sssuredly would had they not,
as you might say, been stripped. There
never has been decade before when there
lands of the st. John and Aroostook val
leys. Cedar when cut doesn't grow again,
or at least not in lifetime. In valuing
these lands from which the pine is all cut,
the cedar largely so, and the spruce nearly
all cut down to the present market size, we
have got to consider the worth of the spruce
that is TO grow. These land oxners stand
all risks of FIRE AZ insurance rates are 80 high
Let US suppose an instance by way of
illustration. You would naturally think
dollar an acre a mere bagatelle. Take 4
town of 20 040 acres, valued at q 90 per
acre that means one dollar for every acre,
including green land, bog and burnt land
rocks and lake. 1t means that it would
require yearly income of about 81. 900 to
pay interest and taxes. to say nothing of
risk by fire To get this 81. 900 per year
it mean. the necessity of taking of annually
| 900 900 feet. of course there are some
few exceptionally fac lands that would be
exception, to that vhieh have mentioned
by way Of illustration but the case cited 10
= fair average.
Why, sir, if You think it isn't, will
say to you that | am authorized BY the
owners to offer whole township of wild
land to the commission for fifty cents An
acre that ten years ago was valued at
eighty seven. The man who thinks that all
he has to do TO acquire riches 10 to get pos
session of timber land knows nothing about
the business, and the chances are that he
will come out of his speculation with his
lands stripped and himself plucked."
