OPINION REGARDING BONDS.
Judge Weiss Decides Important Cues
tion in Pottef County.

BY Exclusive Wire tom The Associated Press
Harrisburg, Nov. 6.--Judge Weiss
handed down an opinion today, dis
missing the: application made by cer-
tain taxpayers of Potter county in the
name of the commonwealth. to re-
strain the poor directors and county
commissioners from building poor
house. An election was held recently.
at which the proposition 10 erect a
poor house was carried by "a majority
of 600 and subsequently the contract
for the building was awarded at a
cost of S65.O00. When the building was
about one third completed and bonds
had been issued to pay for it, a Ques-
tiOn was raised as to the legality Of
the election, and the matter was taken
into the courts.
Judge Weiss decides that the cleo
tion was lawful, although the ballots
cast might have been irregular, and
says that more harm would be done
and Inconvenience caused by granting
the injunction than by refusing it. He
decides also that the issuing of the
bonds is lawful and binding upon the
county and dismisses the bill at the
expense of the complainants.

of the virgin forest of longleaf pine IN
Texas. The officials state that they are
anxious to exploit their forests on
scientific lines cutting the merchant

protection to the young growth. \ pre-
liminary examination OF this large tract

agents of the bureau. This large area

which the bureau will advise. should
prove 20 he one of the most interesting
undertakings in the line OF forestry by
private owners yet attempted in the
United States
The afore- mentioned request for as
have recently been received by the
bureau of forestry. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company has asked for
Il working plan for its tract of 10000
acres OF mixed hard and soft-woode,
situated in Nicholas and Pocahontas
counties. southeastern West Virginia.
Burton & Co. have asked fop an exam
inati0n of their tract of $4,000 acres of
pine land situated in Berkeley county,
South Carolina. The East Tennessee
Iron and Coal company. owning 10000
acres of hardwoots in the Cumberland
mountains desires to cut its timber on
conservative lines. and has requested
a preliminary examination of it's tract.
From North Carolina comes request
for advice in the handling of 10000
acres of hardwood situated near Grand
father mountain. A request has been
received from the Georgia Iron and
Coal company for advice in the hand
ling of two tracts: one Of 10000 acres
in Barlow county. and the other of 30
900 acres in Dade county. An eXamina-
ton is also asked for. by another firm.
of 1900 acres of pine land in Polk
county, Ga. And so the record goes.
Since 1S9S, when the offer OF govern
ment aid in planning the proper care
of forest lands was first made more
than 10000 acres of private woodland
have been put under intelligent super
vision and care. with excellent results.
In addition. plans have been supplied
for the management of more than 50,-
100000 wooded acres held as federal or
state reserves. The less than $500. 900 an
nually spent by congress upon the for
estry bureau is certainly a paying in
vestment, in more ways than one.
