Dishonest Officials Cannot Hold the Government to Consequences
Judge Thayer of the U S Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling in the Pine River Logging and Improvement case. The dispute centers on $457,000 worth of lumber alleged removed from Indian reservations and the interpretation of "dead end down" timber. The decision clarifies that living trees amidst dead or down timber are not included. The government was not bound by a representative's acquiescence, and Thayer faulted the official's conduct as derelict in duty.
