Calif. National Forests Yield 10.9 Million Dollars

Revenues from the National Forests of California enriched the U. S, Treasury approximately $10,943,500 during the past fiscal year ending June 30, 1953 according to a statement by Regional Fiscal Agent L. P. Wilsey.

Mr. Wilsey stated that the receipts from the National Forests were derived from the sales of timber and forage, and from special land and power use rentals. Twenty-five per cent of the total receipts are returned to'the State, which in turn apportions it to the Counties containing National Forest land. Approximately $2,735,870 will thus be made available to the Counties for public schools and public road programs.
