TEM-HoME BUILDING CON-
MlTTEE REPORT.

/ The Wallace board of trade as
member OF the United States cham
Der of commerce, had submitted to
it few weeks ago the report OF a
committee from that body recon-
mending various changes in the for
estry laws and regulations and prac-
tically submitting a national forestry
policy. Accompanying the report were
also carefully prepared arguments
against its adoption. The document
also contained a ballot with each
specific proposition stated, all of which
combined to make what was desig.
mated as referendum No. ~. The
local organization was asked to re.
cord its vote on each proposition. this
being the means adopted by the ma
tional body to obtain an expression
of public sentiment on the various
phases of the question. The referen-
dunn was referred to a special COM
mittee of five, of which ID. G. Donohue
was chairman. At the meeting of the
board of trade yesterday Mr.. Donohue
submitted the report of the committee,
NlAANA AtNhAAAiASAAAtu an
vote on all proposals, although the
chairman explained that some menu
bers of the committee were still in
doubt regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of
adopting some of the proposed meas
ures The report was unanimously
adopted
Before the vote was taken A. w.
posed to regulate the grazing privilege
on forest reserves. and being informed
that it did not. he pointed out the
damage to forests under the present
grazing permit system. Mr. Hoover
spoke from his own observation and |
said that the damage to forests |
through sheep grazing was comparable |
to that caused by fire, destroying new |
growth of trees and other vegetation, |
and practically destroyed the value |
of the forests as game preserves.
on motion of Rush j. White, the
committee was instructed to prepare
memorandum to accompany the vote
setting forth the objections to indis-
criminate grazing permits as ex-
planned by Mr.. Hoover
Publicity for the District.
The publicity committee, through
A. }. Dunn, chairman. recommended
that the board order 500 copies of the
mining edition OF the Spokesman
Review to be issued on December II,
provided a desirable mailing list could
be secured. The publishers agree to
address and mail the papers on basis
of 4 cents each. The committee re-
ported against taking advertising
space. believing that the benefits to
be derived were too remote to Justify
the cost The report was unanimously
adopted
Home Building Committee.
Herman j. Rossi. chairman of TIT
home building committee, stated that
members of the committee had dis
,ussed the matter informally, and that
t was evident that the chief difficulty
n the program was to secure funds

he matter more difficult, it so hap
,ened that at this particular time
here was little inquiry for homes such
is the committee proposed. the de-
nand being exclusively for furnished
ZONES or apartments He felt, there
ore. that psychologioally this was not
he time to start the movement but
hat the committee had the matter
q mind and that he felt that they
-ould be able to work out the plan
