E. Dasmann, assistant supervisor. Dasmann explained Tahoe forest cut 27.8 million board feet of tember for lumber, fence posts, shingles and other products with a value of $182,070. The timber was cut by 58 different operators. All sales made for timber worth $500 or mote were advertised and sold on a. competitive bidding basis. The forest official further explained that the timber and timber products were all cut and sold on @ sustained yield basis; a system which assures the communities within the Tahoe area of a continuing and permanent source of income\from the public timber lands. Christmas trees and greens sold on public lands yielded a revenue of $32,455. Christmas, trees were cut by 28 different\ operators, mostly from the inaccessible areas of the high fir timber belt. In addition, under special cooperative agreements, the Tahoe forest sold 4,892 Christmas trees “on -privateland, valued-.at—$4,576.00. This work was done to assist landowners to get better management ofthe irtimber producing lands. All Christmas trees cut, by the forest were removed on a\ thinning basis. to improve the _ growing condition of the forest. Free use permits were given loeal forest residents for 67,000 board feet of timber. Most of the timber was used for fire wood, shingles, and similar products. * In line with the policy of the forest to plant all areas burned over where the soil wil] support a stand of timber, a total of 155 acres were planted in 1948. This ‘work was done at a cost of $4,776 on the area burned in 1947 by the Bloody Run fire. 118.000 pine seedlings were planted. This land once supported a very fine forest and still retains the deep rich soil c<apable of growing another such orop. ® During the year 695 acres of young timber stands were pruned to improve the quality of sawlogs in the fastest growing trees. According to law, 25 per cent of . grazing, permits, all receipts from the Tahoe national forest will be returned to Placer, and Sierra. In addition, another 10 per cent is returned to the forest to be used for road and trai] work to develop the area. These returns are based on the total forest receipts, which include revenue from sales of timber and timber products, fees from summer home and resort permits, and other uses. Returns to be made to the above named counties for 1948 will amount to close to $50,000. This compares with $29,000 returned to these counties in 1947. As more areas are opened up and new timber sales are made, this money will continue to increase. Dasmann pointed out that it is important to realize that these funds are returned to the county in lieu of taxes. The general public often does not konw that public lands in the national forest return funds to the counties in place of taxes that would have been ‘collected were the land in private ownership.
