By this section it seems clear that the purpose of the legislature 

 was to permit the expenditure of moneys realized from the pro- 

 ducts of the forests, such as timber, for the purpose of general im- 

 provement of the forest lands set apart as reservations, and unless 

 the legislature contemplated that moneys would be realized by 

 such sales, the presence of this section in the law would be value- 

 less. 



The conclusion drawn is that the reservation of forest lands 

 may properly be done by the Governor; that when so done the 

 lands come under the control of the Board of Agriculture and 

 Forestry, passing out of the hands of the Commissioner of Public 

 Lands, that said Board is empowered to dispose of such products 

 of the forests as are necessarily taken therefrom to carry out the 

 purposes of this act and to enable a proper performance of the 

 general duty to protect, extend, increase and utilize the forest with 

 a view to rendering the same self-supporting in whole or in part ; 

 and that the proceeds of a sale of such products mav be deposited 

 in the Treasury as a special fund and used by the Board for the 

 purposes set out in Section 385 R. L. 



Very truly yours, 



(Signed) C. R. HE^IEXWAY, 



Attorney General.
