The time required for condemnation proceedings varies, being de- 

 pendent on the size of the tract under condemnation, the number 

 of persons in interest, and the rapidity with which the appraisal 

 by commissioners and confirmation by the court can be had. It is 

 probable that from six months to a year will be required. The 

 cost of the procedure is borne bj^ the United States, the owners of 

 the land being required to incur only such expense as mnj be neces- 

 sary to establish their interests in the property and their right to 

 consideration in the distribution of the award. 



PROPOSALS INVITED. 



The units roughly designated in the following descriptions art 

 those within which proposals are at present iuA'ited. Lands chiefly 

 valuable for agriculture are not desired, and if such occur within 

 the units described, they will not be recommended for purchase un- 

 less they are present in such small scattered areas that their ex- 

 clusion would be impracticable. A blank form to be used in making 

 a proposal of land may be had on application to the District Forester, 

 Forest Service. Washington, D. C, or to the nearest supervisor. 

 The blank should be accurately and fully filled out and mailed, se- 

 curely sealed in the envelope. If possible, a map showing the bound- 

 ary and location of the tract should be submitted with the proposal. 



If no headquarters are given for a purchase unit, lands are not at 

 present being considered for purchase. Unless otherwise stated, the 

 purchase unit forms a portion of the National Forest of the same 

 name.
