PLAN UNIQUE FOREST SYSTEM
New Workers Aim to Make County One
Continuous Park, and Have the
Trees Pay Taxes

To make the loafing acre work is
the plan of Otsego county, New York,
which has started campaign to plant
forest of 100 acres on the waste
lands in eachTof the "a townships of
that county.
The plans, says the New York Times,
are to develop county system similar
to the city park plan, with it's har-
monized system of connecting boule-
wards. The project involves the de-
velopment of a comprehensive highway
system.
The forests will be located so that
they will serve as green nature sign
boards along the highways, to adver-
tise to the world that the county has
its own forests, owned, planted and
maintained by the public for the fu-
ture generations.
AS the trees mature they will pro-
vide in the future an income which
will mean an actual cash return to
serve as an offset against taxation.
European towns often pay the cost of
operation Of their government from
their forests, having no taxes, but this
requires greater area of forest than
is proposed for Otsego.
