FORESTRY LEGISLATION IN ALA- 

 BAMA. 



At the recent special session of the 

 Legislature an important forestry bill 

 was passed. The law provides for a 

 Commission of Forestry consisting of 

 the Governor, a member of the Tax 

 Commission, Game and Fish Commis- 

 sioner. Commissioner of Agriculture 

 and Industries, a practical lumber- 

 man, a member of the U. S. Forest 

 Service and the Professor of Forestry 

 in the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. 

 This Commission is to elect one of 

 their own number secretary. 



Duties: To publish an annual re- 

 port on Ine forest conditions, with ref- 

 erence to preservation, destruction, 

 etc., upon the welfare of the State. 

 To accept gifts of land and to provide 

 for proper management. To exempt 

 from taxation denuded land which is 

 properly cared for during a period of 

 ten years. To look after fires and 

 trespass. 



To defray the incidental expenses 

 the sum of five hundred dollars Is ap- 

 propriated. All fines and revenue 

 from Reserves goes to a fund to be 

 called the Forest Reserve Fund. 



Section IS 1-2 provides for the ac- 

 quisition of land by the United States 

 Government for Forest Reserves and 

 the jurisdiction thereof. Doubtless 

 this is in reference to the establish- 

 ment of the proposed Appalachian Re- 

 serve. 



While this law does not provide for 

 all conditions which its friends de- 

 sire, yet, it is a very good start and 

 in a few years will lead to a better 

 appreciation of the forest resources 

 of the State.
