Income for Three Months of 1925 Indicate This Year Will Be a Record-Breaker.
Total receipts of the Medicine Bow national forest in southern Wyoming for three quarters of the current fiscal year ended March 31 last are within $400 of ninety thousand dollars.
The major portion, $85,329.06 was derived from sales of timber, principally railroad ties. Grazing of cattle, horses and sheep amounted to $3,554, special use, $743, and trespass settlements of damage done $36.
Present indications are that the total receipts of the fiscal year ending June 30 next will be in excess of $I00,000, and possibly as much as $125,000. Between $25,000 and $30,000 will be turned over to Albany and Carbon counties, representing 25 per cent of the gross receipts. This sum is prorated between the two counties on the basis of the acreage of the forest in each county. An additional ten percent is to be spent on road construction and maintenance.
