APPRAISAL

Administrative Historical

These records document the permitting and leasing of timber land in Utah since 1896. This is the only known record of this information in the state. A register exists which contains some of the information in these records but it did not begin until August 1906 (See RS #84388). Current records of this series are still being used by the Division of State Lands and Forestry.
