The answer is no. I doubt that at this late date such legislation will be intro= duced. If it is it will be difficult to get it through both houses and signed by the president before the assessment deadline July 1. As the situation now’ stands those who did not do their annual assessment work for the year ending July 1, 1949, will be required to perform their work for the year ending July 1, 1950. In most cases those who did their work last -year ‘can have it credited to this year by filing proper notice. New Bill Clarifies Law Congress last year granted an assessment work. moratorium, but it-did not come until late in the session with the result that many miners already had comRESSMAN REPORTS: By CLAIR ENGLE . ic a g/t PA pleted their work. At my request a clause was added to the moratorium law of last year permitting these miners to claim the credit for their work this year. Despite the special proviso some have contended that unless a miner had filed a proper notice by August 1, 1949, he could not obtain’ the credit. In order to clarify the situation I introduced a bil—H. R. 6406—this session which provides that a statement of labor performed or improvements made on amy mining claim ending July 1, 1949, may be made by noon om July 1, 1950, or included in the annual notice of the performance of assessment work for the year ending at noon, July 1, 1950. The bill which passed the house in February, this week was approved by the senate committee on interior amd _ insular affairs and has beem placed on the senate calendar. Imasmuch as there is no opposition to the measure it is anticipated the senate will take favorable action in the near future. : TAHOE FOREST FIRE EXPENSE IS BELOW AVERAGE Cost of fire protection and suppression on the Tahoe national forest is well below the average cost for other forests in the California region and ~ compares favorably with forests in less hazardous areas, according to a detailed study by the regional office in San Francisco. Results of this study were released this week by Guerdon Ellis, Tahoe forest supervisor. Average cost of fire protection per acre on the Tahoe is 10% cents, compared with a 12.8 cents per acre average for the California region. Ellis said this low cost figure is due largely to planning in use and placement of fire control employees and in the whole-hearted cooperation of local residents in their assistance in suppression. Breakdown of the money. spent for fire protection shows that 63 percent is expended for labor, 15 percent for’ supplies and materials and 12 percent for hire of equipment from private concerns. “We wish to emphasize that of the labor costs a good portion is expended on ‘pre-suppression,’ or being prepared to act in case of fire. These employees do considerable work on regular forest projects such as maintenance of improvements, campground work etc. If this time were deducted, the cost per acre for protection would be reduced considerably,” Ellis said. “In any event, we are proud of our record and we will continue costs to a lower. figure. cemetery. in 1908 named the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river, in tional monument. tional park. NEVADA CITY ALLOTTED $4,700 LIQUOR FEES — Liquor license fee earnings during the six months ended Feb. 28, 1950, reached $5,082,591, according to figures’ released by Jerrold L.
