Commission urges land law revisions and timber repeal
A presidential commission of W A Richards, Gifford Pinchot, and F H Newell has filed a partial report to Congress. It calls repeal of the timber and stone act, outlines sale after appraisal of timber for industrial use, and urges tighter administration of desert land law. It favors restricting homestead clauses in forest reserves and proposes new agricultural land surveying by metes and bounds within forests. Aimed at restoring lands after segregation, it seeks preference for valid homesteaders over scrip entrants.
