Fed Lqnds To Arcot<l Redwood

About 10.500 acres of U.S. Forest Service land has been transferred to Arcata National in "near final settlemento' for lands and trees taken from Arcata Redwood by the federal government to create the redwood national park in California.

The Interior Dept. said the transfer should allow Arcata "to continue logging for more than l0 years." They put the value of the land and timber at $40 million. The land, tfees and cash payments equal the $57.8 million valuation Interior placed on the land Arcata lost to the park.

Arcata said it will accept the lands as "partial compensation" for the redwood tract it lost in 1968 to the park. This agreement does not settle the dispute as to how much the government will eventually have to pay. In September, Arcata filed a $t2l'6 million suit for the land.
