REQUIREMENTS FOR
LEASING CAMP SITES

of Augusta on Wednesday rendered an
opinion of great interest to land own
ers, he ruling that the land agent in
leasing camp sites on the public lots
shall where previously the timber and
grass on the lots have been leased or
sold have the consent of such owners.
The last legislature, Chapter 3O6,
amended Section 6 of Chapter of the
Revised Statutes providing that the
land agent under the direction Of the
| Governor and Council shall sell at pub
lie or private sale and grant rights to
cut timber and grass belonging to the
State and may lease camp sites on
| lands belonging to the State on such
terms as they may direct, also the
right to cut timber and grass and
! lease camp sites on lots reserved for
public uses in any township or tract Of
| land until the same is incorporated.
| Preference in such sales or leases shall
| be given to citizens Of the State of
Maine.
| The following is copy of the letter
| written by Hon. Frank E. Mace, the
land agent and forestry commissioner,
| to Attorney General Pattangall bearing
on the matter:
Under the provisions Of Chapter BOG
of the Public Laws of 1915, I would
greatly appreciate ruling as to the
right of the land agent to grant camp
sites on the public lots of townships
where the timber and grass rights of
said lots have been sold regardless of
such owners.
| Attorney General Pattangall's reply
to Commissioner Mace is as follows:
| "Replying to yours of recent date,
1 assume that your inquiry relates to
cases where the timber and grass on
| public lots had been sold by the State
to individuals prior to the passage of
| Chapter BOG of the Public Laws Of 1915
In such cases it would not be within
the authority of the land agent to
grant camp sites on such lots without
the consent Of the parties to whom the
timber and grass had been Sold
Leases of camp sites on such lots
should be Joined in by the State and
the party to whom the State had sold
the timber and grass"
