Hearings On Harrison
Bill Resumed After
Forester Named
Reimbursement Are
Sought For Stote
And Counties

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Harri-
son announced today hearings on his
bill to assure equitable reimburse
ment by the government to states
and counties for losses caused by re-
moval of lands purchased by the gov
eminent from the tax rolls would be
resumed with appointment OF a new
chief forester of the Department Of
Agriculture.
Hearings on the bill, now before
a subcommittee Of the Senate Agri,
culture Committee, were discontin-
ued following the death of Chief
Forester F. A. Silcox.
Because Senator Harrison and 9TH
ers interested in the proposal con-
slider the foresters testimony of vast
importance, Senator Carraway, chair
man Of the subcommittee, is delay
ing reopening Of the hearings pend
ing the appointment.
Anxious that proper steps be taken
to alleviate q situation which has
worked hardships on many counties,
particularly in Mississippi. where
substantial acreage has been purchas-
ed by the government for forests, re-
settlement projects, game preserves
and similar operations, Senator Har-
rison will press for passage Of the
vital legislation. A similar measure
is being pushed in the House by
Do~,1rn,tat;.ya w NJ Tp1pnnr
With the vesting of the land IL
ties in the government following the
purchases, many counties having
large federal acreage tracts have
found it difficult to maintain then
schools and roads and have found
their county budgets difficult to ad
just as the taxes formerly paid BY
private owners were lost.
Lands acquired in Mississippi alon'
for reforestation purposes and taker
from the tax rolls will run over
1000, 900 acres. Other thousands oil
acres have been acquired for reset
tlement and other purposes.
Under present legislation by which
the government purchases the land,
the counties receive rs per cent of
the gross receipts from timber and
other assets sold from the land. How
ever, the gross income from such
sales is negligible because the prop
erty was largely denuded of timber
before the sale. While that provi-
sion would bring ample remuneration
in "a years from now after the tim
Der has been developed, Senator Har-
rison and others feel that some me,
thod should be devised for the in,
term.
The measure proposed by Senate
Harrison and Congressman Colmer
in brief would provide that the gov
eminent pay annually to each county
affected a sum not less than ont
and one-half per cent of the prict
paid for conservation lands and tina
the payment to each county be no
less than three per cent OF the valu.
OF the acquired land.
Meanwhile, the basic provision 70
