Against Land Board in Raising
The Minimum Price OF
Lands.
COMMISSIONER NOW HERE.
Chairman George M'Cune Arrives from
Nephi to Make Arrangements for
Gathering OF Dissatisfied Ones.

George Mccune, of Nephi. chairman
OF the Juab county commissioners, was
In Salt Lake today for the purpose Of
securing. rooms for a big meeting to
be held in this city on April Z. at
2 o'clock In the afternoon.
The meeting IS In the nature OF
protest against the action Of the Utah
Land Board In raising the minimum
price of lands from $3.50 to $3.50 per
acre, Mr. McCune declares that this
action has practically resulted in stop
ping all land purchases and retarding
progress of agricultural work and de-
velopment In his county. In other coun-
ties, he says, the condition has even
been worse, and that in some of them
not a single application for land pur-
chase has been made since the price
was increased by the land board which
is to be requested to rescind its action
in the interest of larger community
growth and progress.
To this meeting the county commits
sioners of all Utah counties and repre-
sentatives from commercial clubs, far
mers' clubs and towns are invited The
meeting will be held In tho hall OF rep
resentatives. city and county building
The belief is that 1t will be largely at
tended as the counties, particularly
those OF the outside which yet have vast
stretches OF land to dispose Of and I'M
prove, are much interested. Mr.. Me-
Cune II of the opinion that at this
gathering so strong showing Will be
made that the land board will readily
revoke its order and lower the price to
the old schedule, which he contends
means so much TO the development OF
the state at this time. To not reduce
the price, he feels certain will be to
check very materially the growth Of
the state.
