PAGE SIX THE FRANKLIN PRESS od THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN THURSDAY, MAY 2S, 'UJ3 FOREST PLANS NEW PURCHASES (Continued from page on) area," he pointed uiit, "provided the prices are right.'' Explaining that acquisitions would be made through the simple process of bargaining, instead of by con demnation, Mr. Byrne advised that nil persons interested in selling 1:tii! to the forest should write to him care the Nantahala National Forest , Headquarters, Franklin, N. C. f r proposal forms. These forms should be filled out in detail, giv ing the acreage, location, descrip tion, and price asked. The pro posals . then will be considered by the f res try officials, who may sub nut offers as they deem wise. Warns Against Speculation Mr. Byrne' warned that if the prices asked are too high, no pur chases will be made. If speculative efforts are made to. boost prices, he added, the whole plan of ex pansion of the Nantahala Forest may be queered and funds available for acquisitions in this area di verted to nther national forests. The forest supervisor, was unable to quote. any specific prices for cer tain types of land; but it is recall ed that when the " forest ceased making new acquisitions in t)ecem ber, 1931, v the average price for mountain timber property was ap proximately $3.25 an acre. Mr. Byrne declined to say whether this would be a basis for new purchas es, pointing out that the prices paid would, be dependent entirely on how offers in this area com pared with offers in other parts of ine coTinrryr More Camps Likely If large acquisitions are made for the Nantahala Forest, it is expect ed that more Civilian Conservation Camps will be assigned to it, mean ing increased expenditures for for est imprdpement. Mr. Bvrne emphasized that those interested in selling land to the government should write him, rath er than attempt-fo see liim at his office, as he would not have time to discuss the proposals, with all prospective sellers.

Another contingent of the Con servation Corps is expected to ar rive here within a week to set up Camp No. N. C. 10 at Aquone.

Many which were passed were later repealed or amended, and some local measures enacted were superseded by state wide measures.
