43 U.S.C. § 866 — Exchange of cut over land in Montana
submitted 103 years ago by ch. 74 to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 107 words · no verdicts yet
This section allows certain cut-over timber lands granted to Montana for education to be exchanged for comparable lands.
Timbered land granted to Montana for educational purposes before February 14, 1923, may be exchanged under rules set by Montana’s legislature if the timber has been cut or removed under state law. The replacement land must be privately owned, have a similar character, and have approximately the same value. It remains subject to the same requirements and limits. This is allowed so Montana can hold land in reasonably compact areas and reforest economically, despite anything contrary in Montana’s enabling act.
Tracts of timbered lands prior to February 14, 1923, granted to the State of Montana for educational purposes, from which the timber has been cut or removed pursuant to State laws, may, under such rules and regulations as the legislature of said State shall prescribe, be exchanged for other lands of like character and approximately of equal value, in private ownership, which exchanged land shall be subject to the same requirements and limitations to the end that the State may acquire holdings in reasonably compact form and reforesting be undertaken in an economic manner, anything in the enabling act of said State to the contrary notwithstanding.
