6 —S— MINNESOTA PLANNING | EMERGENCY FUND 70 FIGHT FOREST FIRES $50,000 Granted by State Ex- ecutive Committee for Car- rying on Work St. Paul, May 9.—(?)—The state executive council Saturday voted to grant an emergency appropriation of] $50,000 for the purpose of fighting| forest fires in Minnesota. | Although State Forester Grover M.| Conzet requested only $25,000, State Auditor Stafford King moved that double that amount be granted in order to concentrate all efforts to- ward extinguishing all existing fires. Reports were received from Charles M. Babcock, state highway commis-| sioner, and R. A. Hunt, state superin-| tendent of timber, on the fire situa-_ tion, and Forester Conzet described! conditions. i Forester Conzet told the council) many of the fires in northern Min-| nesota have been set by persons who} wished to get employment in fighting | them. Others have been | through back fires set by settle had become terrorized by the situa-! tion | The state forester said he has spent} the previous $25,000 appropriation given him by the council in addition to at least $14,000. As a result the Rppropriation granted him will leave only approximately $36,000 ior fire fighting purposes until July 1 when the next biennium of the state gov- ernment starts when more funds will! be available. There are between 1,000 and 4,000 peat fires in throughout the north- ern part of the state, Conzet said.| Many of these will have to be put out, while a number which are not dangerous will be left to burn until, they go out by themselves. Should a day or two of sunny weather set in, the fires will start up again, Forester Conzet said, unless a heavy rainfall comes to the rescue. There now is a fire in a national forest near Bena covering 9,000 acres, he said. ARREST BROTHERS IN MINNESOTA ROBBERY canch ¢° his parents, Mr. and M ington.
