ALBASr. Jan. 15.-The members OF the
Legislature are much interested In the man
ner in which Gov. Odell's recommendation
concerning the States Adirondack forest
land will work out To carry out one Of
these recommendations Senator Brown
to-day introduced q proposed amendment
TO the Constitution which allows the cutting
OF timber on State lands. The amend
ment reads:
"The Legislature may authorize the
sale and removal Of hemlock, spruce, pine,
balsam or other soft woods In more than
ten inches in diameter three feet from the
ground. The proceeds OF such sale shall
be set apart in a separate fund known as
the forest preserve fund and shall
be used only TO care for and extend the
forests Of the State in the forest preserve.
Roads may be built In the forest preserve,
but franchises shall not be granted for
railroads or street surface railroads upon
or across any part OF the forest preserve
1t is estimated that from a quarter TO a
half million dollars annual revenue will
be secured by the State through the sales
of it's marketable timber, as above pro-
vided for.
Senator Brown will soon introduce an
other bill to carry out the Governors recon-
mendation that Adirondack lands owned
by private individuals be exempt from
taxation II the owners agree not TO cut
timber less than ten inches In diameter
three feet from the ground. Those familiar
with the Adirondack forest situation ques-
tion the desirability Of such an amendment,
as few OF the big private owners cut timber
of less than the dimensions mentioned and
this proposed new law practically lets
them go on as they are now doing and
exempts them from thousands Of dollars
of taxes.
