firm and leaving such strips to blow down 

 can only result in loss and an unsightly 

 tangle .along the highway. 



Then again, there is the even more seri- 

 ous obstacle of acquiring the land and 

 timber. A strip of timber 200 or 300 feet 

 wide and ten miles long on each side of 

 a highway would represent even at very 

 low stumpage rates, a value of quite a 

 few thousand dollars and there are many 

 ten mile strips it would be desirable to 

 have lined with trees. 



Obviously the state or county could not 

 expect an owner to donate to the com- 

 munity a considerable amount of timber 

 on which he has paid taxes, protected 

 against fire and against which many other 

 charges have been piled up over a series of 

 years. Just aj obviously the state probably 

 could not invest a large sum in timber along 

 highways for, as stated, unless conditions 

 were unusual a large part of it would prob- 

 ably blow down. 



It is believed that everything possible 

 consistent with sound public policy should 

 be done to preserve the beauty of high- 

 ways. But it is thought too that this can 

 best be done by working out a careful plan 

 with this in view. Such a plan Governor 

 Olcott's committee will doubtless present 

 in due time. One thing is certain ; if fire 

 is kept out of cut-over land for a few 

 years sufficient young growth will come 

 in so that it is no longer unpleasant to 

 look at. This will doubtless be the solu- 

 tion along many miles of highway. Groups 

 of wind firm trees or even individual wind 

 firm trees can possibly also be found along 

 certain stretches of road to form a nucleus 

 for future forests. 



The problem is an interesting and im- 

 portant one and like all important prob- 

 lems will take time to work out in the 

 best interests of the public and with proper 

 regard for property rights. The Forest
