BKAVEK RANCH
Erin A. Carlson, of Ironwood, appear
ed before the Committee to request that
he be premltted to lease from the Coun
ty of Gogebic the following parcels of
land: The NE»/4 of NE'/ 4 . the SEV« of
NE'/ 4i and the NE‘/4 of SE 1 /*, n Section
14, T46N, R46W. Mr. Carlson has recent
ly been released'from service and plnns
to operate a beaver ranch on the site,
as McDonald Creek flows through these
descriptions. The County has created a
flowagc in that area by «building a dam
in the NEV4 of NE'/ 4 . A number of
years ago, In a smaller way, a beaver
ranch was in operation on the same
site, with which Mr. Carlson was then
associated. Since that time, he has de
voted a good deal of study to the rais
ing of beaver, having in mind the estob
lishment of a beaver ranch when he re
turned to civilian life. He has been in
contact with several Federal agencies
and many State agencies on this ques
tion. The States of Michigan, Wiscon
sin and Idaho hnve promisqfl their co-op
eration by furnishing him with his initi
nl stock from their State experiinental
farms. The Federal Bureau of Btologi
cal Survey has offered him two sites,
one in the State of Washington and the
other in Canada but Mr. Carlson be
lieves the sitein this County has advan
tages superior to those offered or to any
other site In the United States within
his knowledge. He intends to begin
with a miniinum of 25 jfhirs of beaver
and Invest upwaids of $7,000 in the pro
ject. The Committee was very much
interested in the pian. On motion by
Slivensky, supported by Lusa, aitd duly
carried, the Committee voted to recom
mend to the Board of Supervisors and
the County Forestry Commission that
Mr. Carlson be given a lease on the
lands for a period of twenty years and
that the terms to be incorporated mto
said lease should be deeided at a meet
ing to be held by the Conservation
Committee and the County Forestry
Commission with the assistance of the
Prosecuting Attorney.
BLACK RIVER DAM
As the money therefor has already
been appropriated, it was moved by
Johnson, supported by Slivensky and
duly carried, to recommend to the
Road Commission that construction of
the dam on Black River should lie be
gun next spring and that if road Com
mission employces cannot be spared for
the work, the job should be let out on
contract.
LAKE TROUT
Moved by Kangas, supported by Lusa
and duly carried, that Representative
Louis Mezzano be requested to confer
with Mr. Westerman, liead of’ the fish
division of the Department of Conserva
tion,. registering the pas.sage of a new
bill which would ainend present laws to
more adequately control the taking of
lake trout from Lake Superior.

TIMUEK CUTTING REGULATIONS
To the Committee was referred a pro
test against a bill in the State Leglsla
ture which would establish certain regu
lations to govem the cutting of timber.
The above named local loggers were
asked to the meeting so that the Com
mittee could obtain a representative
loggers* viewpoint. The discusslon also
covered future use of cutover lands.
At present, it is difficult, even under
the Commercial forest law, for owners
to pay taxes through the long years be
fore another crop of timber grows up.
As a conscquence, cutover lands usuaiiy
revert to the State for non-payment of
taxes and the County, Townships and
School Distrlcts are deprived of further
taxes from such lands.. Chairman Ach
atz proposed a pian for discussion. If
it can be workea out, it would provide
that the landowners, when they have
finished cutting, would give a trust deed
on the lands to the County Forestry
Commission. Therenfter, no taxes
would be assessed but the Forestry Com
mission would set a book value on such
lands, which would gradually incrcase
as a new crop of timber grew up. The
Secretary of the Commission would
keep an exact record of such ands and,
also, a record of the taxes that would
have been payable on such lands, had
they remained in private ownershlp.
The book value placed on such lanas
w«uld be considerably below the assrss
ed valuation ordinarily placed on such
lands. At the end of perhaps forty
years, or whenever the timber is ready
for cutting, the original owner would
be given a permit to cut a limited per
centage of the timber each year, condi
tions upon the payment of a sum which
wouid be the equivalent of the tax rates
which were levied while the land was
held by the County, plus a small pay
ment per aere for admlnistrative costs.
The monies so received would be distnb
uted to the County, Townships and
School Distrlcts in the same proportions
as they levied taxes. A long discussion
was held but the subject requlres much
further study. particularly as to its leg
ality. It will receive the further atten
tlon of the Committee and local loggers.

Porto Ricon
Asemasuhde
Pres. Truman keholtti äsket

hyväksi, että järjestetään Por
to Ricossa kansanäänestys, jon
ka mukaan kansa saa siellä
päättää mikä heidän poliittinen
tulevaisuutensa on. Erikoisessa
tiedonannossaan presidentti ke
hoitti, että Porto Ricon kansal
le annetaan tilaisuus valita näi
den välillä: oikeus valita oma
kuvernöörinsä; täydellinen it
senäisyys, tai dominionisuhde.
“Jokaista näistä esityksistä on
suosittu saarivaltakunnass a , ”
huomautti presidentti, “ja jo
kaisella on omat etunsa. Epä
varmuus pitäisi puhdistaa pois
aivan lähimmässä tulevaisuu
dessa.” Presidentti sanoi esityk
sesään, että “samalla kun kon
gressiin pitäisi laatia sellainen,
laki, joka antaa Porto Ricon
kansalle oikeuden päättää tule
van hallituksensa muodosta,
niin lainlaatijain “ei pitäisi e
sittää minkäänlaista ehdotusta
Porto Ricon kansalle mitään
sellaista, jota kongressi ei ole
valmis lopullisesti laatimaan
laiksi.”
“Puerto Rico” tarkoittaa ri
kasta satamaa. Sen löysi Chris
topher Columbus, ja se on ai
noa maa joka kuuluu tähtili
pun alaisuuteen ja jolle Uuden
Maailman tunnustettu löytäjä
on jalallaan astunut. Sekä sen
että Filippiinit ja myöskin
Guamin luovutti Espanja Yh

A meeting of the Infirmary Commit
tee, held at the Courthouse, on Thurs
day, January 10, 1946, at 4:30 P. M.
Present: Supervisors Michael DeStas
io. Chairman; Lauri Lahti, Roy W. Bed
ell. Patrick Kelly, Bernard Mazanec,
Frank Guzzo, Frank Jacisin and George
H. Lawyer, Chairman of the Airport
Committee.
The meeting was called at the request
of the Airport Committee, with the ap
proval of the Board of Supervisors, to
inquire of the Welfare Commission lf
the tractor it owns could be rented or
purchased by the airport Committee for
useat the County airport. In the sum
mer It would be needed in conjunction
with a mower to keep the grass cut on
the field and In the Winter it would be
needed to plow snow at the local air
port.
Frank J. Duda, Director of the Social
Welfare Department, attended the meet
ing as the representative of his Depart
ment. From the discussion, it develop
ed that the tractor is needed at the In
firmary from time to time during the
summerin farming operations but that
the Infirmary has no need of lt during
the Winter. On the other hand, at the
Airport, lt would probably be sufficlent
lf the grass were cut down two or three
times.. In the Winter, however, lt
would be needed almost coAstantly. It
would be posslble to have the use of the
tractor for cutting the grass at the air
port in between the times lt is needed
at the Infirmary during summers and
it could be kept at the airport during
the winter.s. Duda offered the airport
the use of the tractor when not needed
at the Infirmary, free of any charge,
provided only tnat it be kept in repair.
Moved by Lahti, supported by Jacisin,
and duly carried, that use of the Infir
mary tractor at the airport be authoriz
ed, when not needed at the Infirmary,
conditioned upon the Airport Committee
paying for necessary repairs and up
keep.
