Mondell Presses Definition of Merchantable Timber in 820 Acre Act
In a long inquiry to clarify what constitutes merchantable timber under the 820 acre homestead law, Mr. Mondell argues for a broad interpretation allowing settlers to take timber needed for farm improvements. He notes Department ambiguity and promises to seek legislative clarity, urging that land containing small timber should not be barred from homestead entries. He highlights his bill for appeals to courts to ensure Congress's intent guides timber access.
