OLYMPIA. - State Supervisor of
Forestry F. S. Pape is feeling sud-
denly officially poverty stricken, in
the loss of some $4,000 return ex-
pense money which he thought that
the last legislature had arranged to
have come back to his available ap-
propriation; but the idea is knocked
into a cooked hat by the opinion Of
the encouragement to the contrary
1t has long been the law that one
third of the expense of forest fire
protection, incurred in each county
each season, shall be charged against
the county and to be reimbursed. An
legislature providing such repayment
should be Credited to the fund ap-
propriated for the division of fores-
try" Legislative appropriation of the
division was also reduced $4,000 from
the previous appropriation, as an off
set. State Treasurer G. l.. Babcock
recently asked Acknowledgement John
H. Dunbar just what this amendment
meant. The conclusion is reached
that the legislature did not by the
use of the words credited to Tho fund
appropriately intend to appropriate
this special fund. So Supervisor Pape
feels the forestry division has been
shortchanged $4,000 somewhere in
the transaction.
