ARIZONA GETS BIG INCREASE.

The 25 per cent share of National
Forest receipts paid over to the coun-
ties Of New Mexico for the support OF
roads and schools is $58,000. which
represents an increase of $4,000
over last year, according to figures
compiled by the forest service. Ari-
zona's share is $4,000, which rep
resents an increase Of $4,000 over
last year
School funds paid over to Arizona
and New Mexico an account of
school lands administered by the
forest service, and road funds accru-
ing from forest receipts, are said to
show corresponding increases in
both states. An increase of 43 per
cent over last year is shown in the
total amount paid over directly into
road and school funds in the two
southwestern states. Forest officers
ascribe the increase to the more ac-
tive market for forest timber, great
or demand for forest range, and the
25 per cent raise In grazing fees put
into effect at the beginning of the
year.
