New Timber Royalty Bill Shapes BC Resource Policy
From Our Own Correspondent Victoria Press Gallery Feb 18. A bold public policy bill by Minister of Lands William Ross introduces profit sharing with the people in timber industries and fixes royalty pricing on leased public timberland. It forecasts higher royalties, periodic readjustments, and long term revenue gains for the province, while boosting investor confidence and conservation. Premier Sir Richard McBride endorses it as a major advance with broad economic and environmental aims. A new provincial loan act to raise 10 million dollars at modest interest is also introduced, with several bills expected soon.
