Forest Payments to Counties ' Reach All-Time Hish

San Francisco, Feb. 16-Payment to the State o{ California for distribution to 39 counties of money earned by National Forest land in those counties during Fiscal Year 1949 soared over the million-dollar mark and reached the highest level in the 43 years the U.S. Forest Service l-ras been making these payments, it was announced today by Regional Forester Perry A. Thompson.

The total, $1,132,762, is more than trvice the amount paid the previous year. It represents .25 percent of the receipts the Forest Service collected from timber sales, livestock grazing, recreation permits and other business on the 18 national forests in California in the year ending June 30, 1949. The U. S. Treasury recently mailed checks to State Treasurers.

The "share money" is paid in lieu of taxes on land in national forests. It is apportioned to them according to the National Forest area in each county. Counties use this money for public schoc;ls and public roads.

"An additional benefit is the ten percent of National F'orest receipts rvhich the Treasur)' Department returns to the Forest Service for use in improving forest roads and trails," said Mr. Thompson. "This item for Fiscal Year 1949 will bring back about $4,18.000, for use in California."

He attributed the jump in receipts to increased sales of timber and higher prices paid for it in that period. He added this caution to couuties: "Their share-money froul the current fiscal 1'ear rvill probably bc much less, because our receipts from timber sales have dropped as a result of less demand for timber and lorver prices, particularll'

Flooring Manufacturers' Association reported last week.

He said that approximately 95 per cent of the volume consisted of oak, the type of flooring used most extensively in home building. The rernainder rvas made up chiefly of hard maple, beech, birch and pecan. About 90 per cent of the country's hardr,vood flooring supply comes from the t'vu'o areas, the Southern and Appalachian rcgions, he said.

The five-week total was 21 per cent greater than in the same period of 1948, the year in rvhich a record 795 mlllion board feet rvere shipped. Total shipments last year were more than 785 million board feet, off onlv about I per cent from the all-time high.

Productive capacity of the hardrvood flooring industrv has been expanded considerably since the early postwar days rvher-r the shortage of oak flooring rvas acute. Despite the usuall.r' l-reavy clemand, therefore, manufacturers anticipate no serious difficulties in providing adeqttate supplies, \\rillins said.

Thc arvard is granted by the Socicty's National Board of Govcrnors for excellence in engineering and manufacture. in fir.

Three highest counties sharing are : Plumas, $288,567; Lassen, $101,033; ancl Tuolumne, $100,732. Counties which do not ,contain national forest land receive no share of receipts.
