Taylor Given Free Hand
In Sale of School Lands

LYMPIA-T The state land
board Thursday gave Land Com
missioner Jack Taylor almost free
hand in selling school lands, re-
curing only that all future timber
sales must be check-cruised by in
dependent cruisers.
Following an all-day meeting Of
the board. a statement was adopt
ed specifying that the board would
hire two cruisers of its own to see
that Taylors men put adequate
appraisal values on state lands he
planned to sell to lumber COM
panies.
Labor union leaders, school Off
cials and lumber company officials
attended the hearing. The lumber
men and union officials objected
to school authorities proposal to
hold up selling of their timber be-
cause the money from the sales
was not needed now by schools.
They said the trees must De cut
to permit logging camps and mills
to continue operating.
Gov. Arthur b. Langlie made
funds available so that the board
could hire independent cruisers to
check Taylor's appraisals. a fea-
ture demanded by School Superin-
tendent Pearl Wanamaker.
The boards statement revealed
that it would fix final appraisal
value on school lands to be sold
in the August sale after check
cruisers make their reports on
August 1.
II also said a study would be
made of sustained yield logging so
that comprehensive plan could
be submitted to the 1913 legisla-
ture.
