EXPLAINS DECREASE IN FOREST REVENUE
PHOENIX, Sept. 27.—Why should Arizona's revenue from her national forests drop from $124,629 to $42,430 in a year?
This was the question debated at the state house when the report came to Charles Fairfield, state auditor, that revenue from the forests for the road and school fund had decreased many thousands of dollars while the forest acreage, 11,355,846, representing every county in the state with the exception of Yuma county, was little less than the acreage of a year ago.
Now the problem has been solved in a letter received by Mr. Fairfield yesterday from T. W. Norcross, chief engineer of the forest service with the United States department of agriculture.
Mr. Norcross has assured the auditor that the national forest receipts have not fallen off for the fiscal year of 1921. He has pointed out that congress passed an act which makes it optional with the permittees to defer if they wish final payments of grazing fees until December 31, 1921.
